    There has been alot of western Canadian honey shipped to Australia 
over the past few years, its cheaper to ship in a container from Alberta 
to Australia, than a truck load of honey from Alberta to Quebec, and the 
honey isn't
being sold cheap, they are paying the market price or above. 90% of my 
honey went to Capilano to be packed in Quebec for their creamed product, 
and they paid higher than anyone else was last fall.
