We're a small family run beekeeping business with our hives located around the Mangonui area in the Far North of NZ. We keep our batches small and target the Manuka and Kanuka honey. Our honey has a very distinct rich full flavour and we test in approved laboratories for Methylglyoxal (MGO) which determines the quality and healing properties in the Manuka and Kanuka honey. We also do 'Pollen Type' tests to determine the exact flowers the bees have visited in each batch of honey. Food purity is personally important to us which links back to how we treat our bees. We leave honey on the hives over Winter and never feed sugar syrup. We also mow around the hive entrances and don't use weed sprays.
We're also using other products from the hive and adding value. Propolis is one of our favourites with its amazing healing properties. We make a delightful healing moisturising Propolis Bee Balm which is very popular. We also make beautiful hand dipped pure Beeswax candles and soaps.
