    Here in Brazil we have native stingless bees, they are awesome and very cute, but European honeybees do outcompete them.

    Thankfully there are beekeepers that work with the native species, but as they produce way less honey, it’s less lucrative.

      Just make suburban mom’s believe it’s special somehow. Manuka honey goes for like $40/lbs at Costco vs regular honey at like $5-10.
