The heavy rains in the lower North Island and parts of Northland in December has kept bees in these areas in their hives - unwilling it seems to venture out in the poor weather.
Apiculture NZ says the future focus of the industry is finding markets for what is seen as a glut of honey.
In what is described as a first for the country, Taranaki-based Naki New Zealand has developed a mānuka honey and cannabidiol (CBD) blended nutraceutical aimed at the billion-dollar export market for CBD edibles.
The Government is spending nearly $6 million to stop Australian beekeepers marketing their products as ‘mānuka’ honey.
Hundreds of beekeepers, packers and industry trade and suppliers will converge in Rotorua next month for Apiculture New Zealand’s national conference.
The honey market downturn has impacted the profitability of many beekeeping businesses, particularly those producing the non-manuka honeys, says Karin Kos, chief executive of Apiculture New Zealand.
Apiculture New Zealand (ApiNZ) is backing Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor’s plea for greater unity among beekeepers.
