[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 1647, member: 13"] Hmm yes. I'd heard a rumour that the growth of the honey mountain was levelling off. Must have been fake news, looks like it's still growing at a rate of knots :oops:. Other interesting thing was the low per hive production during the manuka boom times. Looks rather pathetic, but could be people sacrificing quantity, to get high value honey even at smaller amounts. Then last season production quantity per hive returned to pre boom type quantity. Only good thing the number of hives has reduced. The reduction will have to be slow, because unlike other livestock you can't just ship them off to the works. But as old gear rots out and is not replaced, hive numbers will likely continue to reduce. [/QUOTE]
