[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 11419, member: 13"] The falling price of honey over here. Most honey is being sold for the cost of producing it, or less. The more expensive honeys such as manuka just aren't selling at all, some people haven't sold any honey in 2 years, not enough buyers. So you can be a good beekeeper, make a good honey crop or compete against other beekeepers for pollination rights or whatever, but still fail financially. A few beekeepers are still doing OK, but they have been around a while and have a plan that not everybody else can jump onto. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
