tone1 Posted December 4, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Looks like the price of your favourite cup of Kona will be going up as Big Island as agricultural officials deal with this never-before-seen coffee berry borer beetle (try saying that 5 times fast) infestation in Hawaii:eek: :mad: http://hawaii.gov/hdoa/pi/ppc/coffee-berry-borer-folder/coffee-berry-borer-information-page http://www.espressocoffeeguide.com/2010/11/coffee-berry-borer-beetle-causes-quarantine-of-kona-coffee/ But, I do like Robin's approach on how to deal with them in her Jamaican Blue Mountain groves;) http://www.coffee4dummies.com/jamaican_blue_mountain/special_coffee_borer_beetle_in_hawaii Might have to rethink doing a coffee tour in Kona, but I certainly have new appreciation for all of the agricultural inspectors at customs/airports.
