Due to litigation I face from Capilano Honey the last update had to be amended. Find out more at Beethecure.com.au Capilano Honey was closed to Save the bees Australia, on their open day. Every year CapilanoHoney invite beekeepers to meet in Maryborough Victoria this is a tradition. This year contracted Capilano beekeepers insisted I attend. They warned me I would be appalled by the tonnes of imported honey Capilano held on this premises. These beekeepers are honourable men and now feel insulted that a company from such pure origins has turned into a Importing Mecca. The food miles this honey does terrifies me. Sadly it doesn't end here, ironically a lot of this honey will get blended and exported again. To my surprise a documentary film maker and I despite travelling four hours were told we were not welcome to tour the heating facility. Before I left I was astonished to see imitation honey syrups on display from Mexico. It's heartbreaking for the souls of this company to see Capilano "Honey" sell an imitation product. Many of these guys are struggling financially as a result of these imports. I was there long enough to hear that contracted beekeepers feed their bees Chinese pollen over winter. "Sorry mate if your feeding the girls Chinese pollen the honey is Chinese such is the synergy of the hive." I also made a new friend who took umbrage in the attention I was getting "Simon don't worry we all hate these bastards for importing honey and denying the effects of Neonicotinoids on our bees, Roger Masters (formerCEO) was a evil and ruined it for all of us" Personally I still have faith Ben McKee can do some positive work together. Ben I would request more transparency in the future. Until the labels are changed I request consumers give Capilano your view about their practices. What's going on is unfair ,malignant and UNAUSTRALIAN. Please share this information, sharing will save the bees. There are other ethical packers that will fill the void if they don't change. It is very important that you spread the word. Unlike Capilano we don't have millions to advertise with but we do have the truth. Capilano have connections in the media Kerry Stokes media mogul owns major stakes in Capilano. Use the honey map. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zzplKTnSjGhs.k8sAyx_T0CJE
