[Pollinator] [beemonitoring] Fwd: Honey

[Kit Prendergast]

Dear Peter,
Is it not incorrect to refer to the various Aussie Leptospermum's as Manuka?
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...
Regards,
Kit
