New Zealand Mānuka Honey Manufacturer & Bulk Supplier
Midlands Apiaries is one of New Zealand's largest Mānuka honey manufacturers and suppliers, supporting Australian distributors, retailers and private label brands. Our nationwide procurement network and year-round sourcing programme help provide reliable bulk and wholesale Mānuka honey supply across a wide range of UMF grades.
Creamed & Liquid Mānuka Honey Production
Our master creamers produce both creamed and liquid Mānuka honey, carefully managing texture, viscosity, crystal structure and consistency to meet retail, bulk and private label requirements.
Manuka Honey Origin
In late spring to early summer, the Mānuka tree is covered in masses of flowers. The bee visits this flower to collect the pollen and begins the production of the iconic honey. Once the pollen and nectar are collected, worker bees fly back to the hive, depositing their gatherings into honeycombs. Lastly, our specialised field trucks can relocate hives and transport them back to our honey extraction facility for rigorous harvesting and testing, a process that sets us apart among Manuka honey bulk suppliers.
This New Zealand origin and full traceability helps Australian buyers source genuine UMF-certified Mānuka honey with confidence.
Our dedicated team will help develop your private label brand and ensure it meets the highest quality standards. Whether you're launching jars or large-scale Manuka honey bulk formats, we offer you a customised total honey solution for your brand.
Quality Assurance
Every batch is independently tested and verified to support UMF certification, authenticity and traceability requirements.
Our expert technical staff work in a state of the art laboratory that is purpose-built with high tech equipment to test our Mānuka honey. At every stage of honey production, we conduct tests to ensure purity and consistency. The total honey solution for your brand is of utmost importance to us; we always strive for perfection. This rigorous process reflects our commitment to producing premium Manuka honey from New Zealand.
With our meticulous checks and balances, you’ll take comfort knowing that we provide a commitment to your private label brand 365 days of the year.
Independent IANZ certified laboratories also carry out tests to ensure our products comply with the most stringent quality standards. Focusing on our high-quality production process, we’re also capable of tracing all of our honey, including our organic Manuka honey bulk options. We also conduct an extensive internal testing programme that is validated by independent testing.
