📉 Tough Times for NZ Honey – But Beekeepers Are Adapting 🐝🍯

 📉 Tough Times for NZ Honey – But Beekeepers Are Adapting 🐝🍯

New Zealand’s honey industry is feeling the sting.
🔻 Beehive numbers are down
🔻 Production is slowing
🔻 Oversupply, export hurdles, and shifting global demand are cutting into profits

But in true Kiwi spirit, beekeepers are rising to the challenge. 💪
To stay viable, many are diversifying into:
🌾 Pollen production
🌼 Pollination services
🌿 Specialty honey markets

This period of adjustment may be tough, but it’s also driving innovation, resilience, and a smarter approach to apiculture.

📍 The future may look different—but NZ honey is evolving to stay strong.
