Well, if Carney puts the same tariffs on US honey, that will be a pretty obvious switchover for a California-sized portion of honey.
Then find other global partners who would also like Canadian honey.
Also, Canada refines sugar, but the beets have traditionally been grown in the southern US.
So switch to refining honey instead of sugar beets? That would use up the entire supply rather quickly, even if it didn’t make quite as much profit.
Sell honey in other provinces. I only buy Canadian real honey.
Even if thats not enough honey is a long storage product of relatively high value. Im sure it can be sold pretty much world wide. I mean we get fruits from south america in the winter
US is 90% of their business. Hope you're ready to eat honey for every meal.
Anywhere sugar is used honey can be used. Ill buy enough just to make mead actually.
It's better for you than sugar, at least.
My body is ready. Do they distribute nationwide? If not, grow at home.
Diversify. It’s hard, but certainly doable.
Honeys funny. I worked in an honey factory/ apiary for a few months in grad school (pick blue berries in the morning, lift supers in the hot house late morning/ afternoon). Most honey operations are high distributed. You gotta move your bees to where the flowers are. So operators will drive the hives hundreds, thousands of miles in a season.
Just putting highlighter on how stupid this whole thing is. Like Brexit but dumber. Steve Bannon can suck my farts.
People have forgot why you don't make Canadians mad. Maybe its time to add some more entries into our list. Just saying.
