Anonymous, N/A 1999 . Airborne New Zealand Honey Collections [report on the internet] Airborne Honey, Ltd. Christchurch, NZ New Zealand

Notes: [c.1999-2003] [available from http://www.airborne.co.nz/hnydew.htm] Honeydew is a classification of honey that refers to honey produced by honeybees collecting nectar that is exuded from another insect such as an aphid or scale insect. The two scale insects mentioned in this report are Ultracoelostoma assimile and U. brittini. U. brittini tends to inhabit the trunks and larger branches, while U. assimile is recorded (C.F. Morales) as favouring the upper branches and twigs, thus U. brittini is the insect most likely to be encountered by the casual observer wandering in the beech forests.
