Roger, you need to tell everyone about the amazingly strict customs control on imported honey. I was in your lovely country about eight years ago, and was just amazed at how worried they were at the airport. I think one could have brought in guns, drugs, and nuclear weapons more easily than a jar of imported honey!

I assume all that is to protect that fine Manuka variety . . .

Your right about the customs. As we're a mainly an agricultural based economy the big fear is that one day something disastrous like foot and mouth could get through. Recently the honey industry in the north island has been hard hit by the Varoa Mite which must have slipped through somehow. Lets hope it's impact wont cause too many problems in the manufacture of Manuka honey.

Cheers,  Roger B
