We visited Arataki Honey Ltd today as part of our inquiry into innovation, invention and creativity today. We learnt a great deal about the changes to the honey industry since the time of the Egyptians, when the commercial production of honey was first recorded. There have been a number of changes to the way honey is collected and processed to met the needs of commercial demand. From the hives themselves, to the equipment used to collect honey and care for bees and to the processing of honey for us..consumers. I think we now have an appreciation for the need for continuous innovation and creativity in industry to meet demands and needs. We also had time to explore and learn about the key component of honey production...Honey bees!! We headed back to school with a container of honey....all we could think about after all this honey talk!
