The drier summer New Zealand has been having at the start of 2013, while not so good for farmers overall, has been a boost for beekeepers. Early reports are that there will be a better harvest of honey for this year, especially when compared to the poor 2012 year.
While the following news story is generalised and applies across all honey types, other comments also support a better year for the harvest of manuka honey as well. Of course it must be seen after the appropriate testing has been done as to how much of the manuka crop will contain the special non-peroxide property and be able to gain the UMF certification.
