Kiwi beekeepers bolstered by Aussie experience with myrtle rust

Teresa Ramsey Reporter from Hauraki Herald

Beekeepers are nervous about the threat of myrtle rust to New Zealand's manuka honey industry. However, they hope to get a lucky break with the deadly fungi, just like their Aussie neighbours.

The Australian honey industry survived a myrtle rust outbreak when it arrived on Australian shores in 2010.
Beekeepers here are also hoping New Zealand's multimillion-dollar industry will survive unscathed, but admit it could go either way.
