HONEY IN MIDWINTER
Bees are busy in the districts north of Auckland making their mid-winter stock of honey They began this part- of their year’s programme about two months ago. and will continue until late September or October, During these months they work the tiny manuka flowers, and the result is a honey similar in appearance and taste to the heather honey of Scotland. It lacks the amber clearness of the clover honey, but is much in demand in the early spring. On July 18 beekeepers from the southern parts of New Zealand will be .taken on a tour -of the bays north of Taka-puna to see the bees at their winter work. It will be an education for some of the experts to observe bees storing honey in the off-season, as the southern bees are always dormant in winter time. •
