I recall making Mead once, ( Back in the day when local beekeeper paid me bee-site rental in honey ) Must have attracted every bee for miles, when I heated honey prior to fermenting it !
Article in today's herald on manuka honey. The good news... Manuka honey’s potential to defeat a scary superbug may give it another competitive advantage, but the bad news ......the varroa mite is becoming less sensitive to chemical miticides therefore the bee population may continue to decline.
Obviously - it would be good to hear as well from other Comvita suppliers, but at face value it appears the company has at least some growing pain. Irregularities as described, if true are clearly not good for business.

As a consumer i reckon manuka honey to put on your toast is just one big rip off. As the article says just buy a bog standard bush honey and save heaps.
Mind you i'm told the faceccream is pretty good value.
