Can Midlands Apiaries Supply Manuka Honey?

When it comes to your Mānuka honey business, forging a partnership with a reputable wholesale supplier is paramount. As you select your ideal commercial partner, keep an eye out for crucial certifications and validations that signal a supplier's reliability:

UMF™ Certification: Look for a supplier with UMF™ certification, ensuring their honey's authenticity and exceptional quality.

IANZ-Accredited Laboratories: Trust a supplier whose honey is tested and validated by IANZ-accredited laboratories, confirming the accuracy of their product claims.

MPI Definition Compliance: Ensure that the honey meets the strict criteria set by the New Zealand government to be recognised as genuine monofloral or multifloral Mānuka honey.

As per government regulations, both types of Mānuka honey must meet rigorous standards, including the presence of four chemical markers and one DNA marker. These four markers, alongside DNA from Mānuka pollen, are essential for verifying the honey's authenticity:

3-Phenyllactic acid

2’-Methoxyacetophenone

2-Methoxybenzoic acid

4-Hydroxyphenyllactic acid

At Midlands Apiaries, we are proud to hold all the necessary certifications and validations, ensuring that our Mānuka honey meets the highest industry standards.

Manuka Honey As A Product For Your Business

Why Should You Consider Monofloral Manuka Honey Instead of Multifloral Honey?


Multifloral Mānuka honey (or blend) is the term given to honey that contains some nectar from the Mānuka plant. Alongside the Mānuka nectar, several other flowers will have their nectar also present. This means the unique ingredients of the honey will be severely diluted.

When bees are in the wild, it’s incredibly unlikely that they’ll mostly source nectar from one type of plant. Therefore, to achieve monofloral Mānuka honey, experienced apiarists and equipment are needed. These experts can align the perfect environment surrounded by large amounts of Mānuka bushes, allowing bees to freely produce only monofloral Mānuka honey.

Multifloral Mānuka honey enthusiasts tend to be people who are searching for a delicious honey taste. Nevertheless, if you're looking for your product inventory to have a premium or elite ingredient, the monofloral UMF™-certified Manuka honey range will be perfect.
