[QUOTE="frazzledfozzle, post: 12654, member: 57"] I don’t think the beekeeping industry has ever had a boom like manuka honey. There was a bit of a boom in kiwifruit pollination back in the day and also pollen was quite a money earner for a while but mostly beekeeping to my knowledge has been more of a lifestyle that only just paid the bills rather than big money. The manuka boom effected Beekeepers differently depending on when and how they entered the industry. if entering off the back of low prices, low overheads and do it yourself with a business built on splitting your own hives for increase the manuka boom was amazing, income wise, but it sure has been terrible for beekeeping relationships with hive dumping and site poaching. if you came in on the boom and borrowed to buy everything and hired staff to do the beekeeping then it was probably a curse Because just as you started out it collapsed.
