Small Family Business
Bees have been a big part of our family for the past 10 years, with a passion for beekeeping running through three generations.
Natural Raw Honey
We manage every step of the process. We manually extract all our hives individually with minimal filtration and no heating. 100% raw and straight from the hive.
Healthy Hives & Happy Bees
We intentionally keep our hive numbers down which allows us to properly care for and maintain each one of our colonies. We leave plenty of honey in the hives over winter - We do not sugar feed our bees.
Single hive batches
We individually extract each of our hives and label each jar with its unique hive number. All of our raw honey is left as it was made not combined with others or mixed in storage tanks.

About Our Business
We have apiaries located in West Auckland and on the Mahurangi coast to the North.
We intentionally keep our hive numbers down which allows us to properly care for and maintain each one of our colonies. We pride ourselves on healthy hives, happy bees and as a result, beautiful raw honey.
For the health of our bee colonies and to ensure we get the best raw honey possible, we are selective with our apiary sites. All our sites are spray free and permanent. We do not move our hives around to chase blooms, this allows our bees to get established and forage naturally. We also strongly believe in leaving honey on the hives over winter, this produces healthier hives. We do not sugar feed.
From Hive to jar we manage every step of the process. We manually extract all our hives individually with minimal filtration and no heating. This keeps the honey as close to its natural state as possible and retains all the health benefits that raw honey offers.

FAQ
What is Raw honey?
Raw honey is unfiltered, unheated, unpasteurised and packed with good-for-you antioxidants, vitamins, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. With raw honey, as with many foods, any form of heating is avoided to ensure all the natural vitamins and living enzymes and other nutritional elements are preserved.
Why has my honey crystallized?
This is a perfectly natural process. Crystallization occurs because of the natural qualities inside. The natural sugars in honey (glucose and fructose) will bind together and begin to form little crystals, which can start making your honey harder. Depending on the type of honey, this process can be faster or slower. Some honey even starts to granulate in the frames in the boxes before it is even taken off the hive. Therefore once some of the honey starts the rest of that container will follow.
How can I make my honey liquid again?
To get your honey back to liquid again, warm it up, do not exceed a temperature of 37 Degrees. If over heated it will kill all the good bits. Put the honey in a bowl/pot of warm water and gently stir. The crystals will slowly melt back to liquid again
Does Honey Expire?
Honey does not go bad. In fact, it's recognized as the only food that doesn't spoil

Can honey be fed to children under the age of one?
