>Canadian polyflora, white, max 25mm  USD 1920 CFR

The last posting on this with the current offerings in Europe brought a 
LOT of private mail, the tone of which varied from 'thanks for the info' 
down to calling it complete lies.................hmmm. Why shoot the 
messenger?

Since then I have been told by some N. American correspondents of sharp 
price rises reported on a certain site.

However, current list of offerings arrived on my desk from Germany this 
afternoon. They do not support the idea that there has been a sharp 
movement in prices, though the warning they are sending out may be a 
forewarning of their opinion that the market will soon move up, or 
perhaps a tactic to drum up some business.

Canadian prices are unchanged from 2 weeks ago.
With one lot of 60 tonnes (white  max 25mm) on offer at USD 1920
One lot of 100 tonnes (white max 15mm) USD 1935
One lot of 40 to 60 tonnes (white max 25mm) at USD 2050

All Canadian prices are CFR

Argentine is on offer again this week.
One lot of 100 tonnes (max 50mm) at USD 1695
One lot of 100 tonnes (max 34mm) at USD 1715

These lots are FOB Buenos Aires

selected others (its a long list!)

Chilean Pile1, max 50mm  USD 1800 FOB
Czech Blossom.................EUR 1800 delivered home to buyer
Guatemala LA or better     USD 1700 EXW
Indian max 34mm             USD 1625 CFR
Indian max 85mm             USD 1575 CFR
NZ Clover 15 - 34mm        EUR 2200 CFR ( much more expensive than 
Canadian!)
Romanian polyflora           EUR 1650 delivered home to buyer

In addition the listing carries the following header:-

'As you surely already know, the US beekeepers are claiming that the 
beehives are vanished up to 80% sometimes90%. That is a tragedy so short 
before the new crop. Everybody surely knows what that means. The normal 
yearly honey crop in the USA was between ca 80000 - 100000 tonnes.'

Please, don't fire back at ME about this, it is quoting what is on a 
brokers weekly release.
