We carefully collect honey from across New Zealand

We source a variety of honeys from across New Zealand, servicing, relocating, and transporting honey supers (honey boxes or groups of hives) with a fleet of specialised beekeeping trucks.  These honey supers are unloaded and stored in a warm room until it is time for extraction. 

Hives are strategically placed across the country for bees to collect specific types of honey.  After collecting the pollen and nectar from local floral sources, worker bees fly back to the hive, depositing their gatherings into the honeycomb.  This strong network of local beekeepers, keeps our dedicated transport truck busy, driving around New Zealand to source a wide range of honey. With our large-scale capacity, and a network of suppliers across the country guaranteeing our continuity of supply, means we can deliver what you need, in the time frame you need it.
