<div>Dear Peter, </div><div>Is it not incorrect to refer to the various Aussie Leptospermum's as Manuka?</div><div>I've a great interest in the antipathenogenic activities of Australian honeys. Interestingly Blackbutt has exceptionally high activity yet is not the highest in MGO or hydrogen peroxide...</div><div>Regards,</div><div>Kit</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Fri, 12 May 2017 at 9:29 pm, Peter Bernhardt <a href="mailto:bernhap2@slu.edu">bernhap2@slu.edu</a> [beemonitoring] <<a href="mailto:beemonitoring-noreply@yahoogroups.com">beemonitoring-noreply@yahoogroups.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p></p><div>Someone in our department of Biology just finished presenting a thesis on anti-microbial action of Manuka honey so the following link is not a surprise and beekeepers in this group must know more. Let me clarify one aspect of this article. Manuka honey is supposed to derive from the nectar of Leptospermum scoparium. This is a member of the eucalyptus/myrtle family (Myrtaceae) but the plant made a much older older contribution to medicine or public health almost 200 years ago. These large shrubs are among the species whose twigs and leaves are distilled for their essential oils. It is marketed as ti-tree or tea-tree oil but is often a combination of distillates from other Leptospermum species and also the related genus of broom honey-myrtles (Melaleuca). Ti-tree oil has been used as a diluted disinfectant for wounds and to sterilize floors and walls in hospitals and sick rooms.<div><br></div><div>Peter<br><div><br></div><div> <br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Bill Hall</b> <span><<a href="mailto:wha55510@bigpond.net.au" target="_blank">wha55510@bigpond.net.au</a>></span><br>Date: Fri, May 12, 2017 at 6:49 AM<br>Subject: Honey<br>To: James Trager <<a href="mailto:james.trager@gmail.com" target="_blank">james.trager@gmail.com</a>>, Retha Meier <<a href="mailto:rmeier3@gmail.com" target="_blank">rmeier3@gmail.com</a>>, Peter Bernhardt <<a href="mailto:bernhap2@slu.edu" target="_blank">bernhap2@slu.edu</a>><br><br><br><div lang="EN-AU" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="m_-3007823590305595679m_2450040669291196440WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.foodnavigator-asia.com/Business/Aussie-Manuka-honey-found-to-have-same-anti-bacterial-properties-as-famed-NZ-counterpart" target="_blank">http://www.foodnavigator-asia.com/Business/Aussie-Manuka-honey-found-to-have-same-anti-bacterial-properties-as-famed-NZ-counterpart</a><u></u><u></u></p></div></div></div><br></div></div></div>
