Oversupply, inflated prices, and global volatility continue to drive sector woes.  

Apiculture NZ CEO Karin Kos told Mike Hosking both domestic and export factors are contributing. 

In 2019, New Zealand had a record 1 million hives and 10,000 beekeepers, but now there’s under 500,000 hives and 7,600 beekeepers, she says.  

At the same time, Kos told Hosking, there was softening global demand post-Covid, particularly in some of our largest markets.
