[QUOTE="James, post: 12529, member: 212"] OK .... Been a big day today .... 4.30am start at this time of year .... it is what it is .... but ended up meeting a man on the coast to look through a few beehives who might give them a bit of loving over the next year or two. As, of course, I have a ticket out of God'Z'own to meet up with and get my leg over Black beauty way up north and have some adventures up in the tundra country. Enough of Black Beauty. Most years we are done and dusted at this time of year. Strips are in, hives heavy ..... catch up with you in the spring girls. Something went wrong this year. Apivar went in the back in March and April as we took honey off. A few weeks later we shook bees and sent the advance party north to Canada with mite counts of 3 and 4 and 5. So it took me by surprise today when we did mite counts of high 20's plus some. What the f...... Most days my lunch consists of two cheese sammies and a honey sammy. Today I had a big feed of Humble Pie 36 hours outta jumping into the back seat of that Waka Dreamliner I have cancelled the seat and sent Girl to my old mates warehouse down south for more drugs to sort the problem. Looks like me and Black Beauty are gonna be going through a dry June and July on the Adigan Pass into Prudhoe Bay I dunno what the heck happens if we run outta Gas. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
