The Ministry for Primary Industries is taking more time to review submissions to its consultation on the definition of Manuka honey.

The authenticity of manuka honey exported from New Zealand is to be settled once and for all.

A survey has found beehive losses around the country last year to be 9.78%.

Export revenue for New Zealand pure honey reached a record $315 million for the year ended 2016, up 35% on the previous year.

The beekeeping industry expects to be disrupted for months because of the Kaikoura earthquake last November 14.

New Zealand agriculture stands to lose $295-728 million annually if the local honeybee population continues to decline.

The honey bee is causing land values to shoot up in 'manuka-friendly' regions.

All beekeepers will be now represented by Apiculture New Zealand.

There's a dawning realisation that unused blocks of manuka covered land could be an untapped source of sustainable income.

This week marked the first day of work for 11 Work and Income clients, who will be developing Northland College's mānuka plantation site.
