Manuka honey - what is going on?

[Guest guest]

Mandi you posted about not finding it in shops, well same here - not a

single jar in Sainsburys.

stranger still Nutricentre not delivering - I placed an order weeks ago

and still on 'to follow'... I then placed another order, another brand

(which in the past arrived prompt no prb) and delivery note says 'item

unavailable'.

weird or what? better go to H & Barrett stock up if they have any.

this happened a few years ago also. there was a shortage of bees inEurope or something and the price of honey went up. Then, don't knowwhat happened, perhaps we all stopped swatting but it went down again.

>>I ordered it from Manuka.co.uk last Sunday and haven't heard a peep out of them or seen my goods.............

huh, sounds there could be some 'legislative' chaos happening???

don't think bees would stop producing just like that! or even that

importing goods from NZ would just stop, just like that. retailers would

still have some stock left over, wouldn't they??

There is only a limited supply and many people are catching on to the benefits.........There's a reseracher at Cardiff U. who is doing work on Manuka on open staph wounds and finding it really good...

Hi

We found local honey (the guy who keeps the bees and hives lives

about 5 mins down the road). I think i read somewhere that local

honey is good for the individual esp in the case of allergies... may

be wrong there, i do have a habit of dreaming/ making things up!)

Anyway the beekeeper federation keep a list of local keepers. See

www.bbka. org.uk

The honey we get is just filtered, not sure if you guys would want

that. But it tastes lovely!! Costs about 4 quid i think

different strengths.

We got some a couple of weeks ago from GNCS health shop.It's very

expensive almost 25 pounds for a small pot,perhaps that is why they

had some there.

I've read somewhere that local honey helps with allergies such as

hay fever bacuase the bees collect all the local pollen, etc when

collecting nectar and some of the pollen gets trapped in the honey.

Each time you eat some, your body learns to deal with the small

amounts of allergens that exist in the locality. So when the air

gets loaded with pollen, etc in the summer, your body has already

prepared to deal with them.
