[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 10231, member: 13"] I'm wondering if things are turning a corner. For the last several years I have been selling honey in dribs and drabs but had an ever growing store of it in someone elses shed, which they were starting to get jumpy about :oops: . But last year got all of it sold, and just now managed to flog all of this seasons production, and I even had to withold a few drums just so I can meet existing customer requirements through until the next honey harvest next season. I don't know if I just been particularly lucky, or if things are picking up generally? Another thing, the honey I sell in shops is marketed as native forest honey, and sales jump every time there is a covid scare. Including this time since the omicron wave, sales have speeded up quite a bit. I'm not getting as much money as I would like for any of this, but it is I think priced to the market, I do turn a small profit, and it's great not having to worry about a honey mountain. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
