What you get with god complexes, the Peter principle, cocaine and probably judiciary members liking expensive high quality snow bought for them.

pity you are no longer in Byron area, there is a fruit stall (farm gate) on Wooyung Rd, They sell their honey for $7 a kg.

@Rugglesby Wow that's cheap. Can you send me an advert / price list and I'll pass it onto our thieving Lutheran apiarists - though they will probably claim that yours is diluted with sugar or glucose syrup.

@Rugglesby In sealed plastic bags in AusPost pouches that's only about $17 to ship 5 kilos... Just over $10/ kilo.

@Rugglesby Nundah market Northside of Brisbane used to have a great choice on one of their stalls too, I never brought that brand. (The post was from September 2016, hopefully the exposure made them clean up their act a bit?).

@Rugglesby, & i know of one in myocum, selling honey & eggs from his bush-roaming chooks. yeah, the area has its advantages.

@FrayedBear Would send if I could, sadly it is only a small farm and every few weeks they stick a few jars at their gate with a sign.

@Rugglesby have you seen the latest hives that are for sale? They supposedly have a tap that just drips the honey straight into the glass jar.
The only problem with small backyard operations is "how can they afford to ensure their pollen doesn't come from contaminated flowers and how do they protect their bees from the myriad diseases and Glycophosphate spraying of the gmo farmers?

@FrayedBear yes, have watched a clip on youtube, would love one, only fear is being in suburbia some neighbourhood kids would be deadly allergic. I only have a small yard, but adjoin 800 acres of wetland, so many trees for them.

@Rugglesby Can you be responsible for someone else allergies? I do recall though that they changed NSW law making it illegal to have less than 20 hives. You had better check it out before committing.

@FrayedBear, in australia you are responsible for someone else's kids drowning in your pool on your property, so, yes, i suppose you will be held accountable for other people's consequences of their actions again here.

@walklightly @FrayedBear I guess I could try and make them prove it was MY bee that killed the little Sebastien? I just checked, no max or minimum number of hives, but a license is required, $60 every 2 years, hives about $1000, training about $400 and bees about $200 per hive. Think I'll just stick to my chickens.

@walklightly PC snowflake mothers who shouldn't have children. Most of them should be retrospectively aborted so they can't cause further pollution on the planet.

@Rugglesby Perhaps it was a proposed law pandering to the likes of Capilano and didn't get passed.

@FrayedBear whoa! i'm fully with you on that one.

@walklightly ?
