How Does Midlands Apiaries Produce Manuka Honey?

As one of New Zealand’s leading producers of 100% genuine private label Mānuka Honey, Midlands Apiaries runs an operation as smooth as the honey we produce. Furthermore, we have extensive relationships with our local apiarists as part of our vast network of connections. We have access to some of the most remote Mānuka bushes in the country to ensure our bees collect this rare and premium nectar.

We own an extensive apiary, packing and jar production operation within our facilities. As a result, we provide a vertically integrated service that ensures your private label brand is nurtured to the highest international standards from concept to delivery. While we produce high-quality honey, we also understand that every business wishes to remain unique. We also work with businesses to nurture their business with a signature look and message.

You Can Trust Midlands Apiaries To Test Our Manuka Honey Independently

We consider independent testing necessary to ensure that quality is at the forefront of all of our Mānuka honey products. We provide three key factors when verifying our high-quality Mānuka honey:

2. Testing

Our experienced in-house lab can conduct a wide range of tests to meet Midlands quality standards and those of the domestic and export markets.  Independent IANZ-certified laboratories also perform tests to ensure our products comply with the most stringent quality standards.

Test results are available via a certificate of analysis, which is validated against our own specifications and those of our customers to ensure compliance with international standards in a wide range of markets.
