Harvest time 🍯
The honey frames are finished, sealed over with a layer of beeswax, so now they’re ready to harvest!
Firstly we undertake a hive health check, to make sure they are all healthy and that when we take the honey off they’ll still have enough for themselves to see them through winter.
It’s been a hot couple of days in the beesuit but we can’t wait to taste this seasons magic ✨
Back today at the Remarkables Market! 🏔️

Harvest time is getting closer & closer! 🍯🐝
We’re just waiting on the bees to put the final touches on their hard work - sealing each honey cell with a thin layer of wax.
That wax “cap” tells us the honey is ready. It means the bees have reduced the moisture content to the perfect level, so the honey will store beautifully and won’t ferment or spoil. Clever girls!
With the cooler, wetter summer we’ve had, it’s taking them a little longer than usual to get everything sealed, but we’re nearly there… and we can’t wait to share this season’s harvest with you! 🤩
Authentic honey, straight from the hive to your platter… it doesn’t get better than this!
Available on our website now 👉 www.branchcreekhoney.co.nz/shop/comb-honey
Or come and see us this Sunday @upperclutha_farmersmarket
They’re back… and they’re beautiful 🍯
Our large honeycomb squares have just been harvested and will be landing soon. Presented in their wooden frames, this is honey exactly as the bees intended 🐝
Add one to your next cheese platter and watch it steal the spotlight 👀 ✨
Keep an eye out, these never last long!

Naturally crystallised honey 🍯 ✨
Over time our Raw Clover Blend honey crystallises, just as all good pure honey should! You’ll notice the colour lighten and crunchy, chewy crystals form throughout the jar. Delicious and completely natural!
Honey that stays runny (like the squeeze bottles you’ll find in the supermarket) has usually been overheated to keep it liquid.
That process can reduce some of the honey’s natural goodness and alter its flavour.
We think crystallisation is something to celebrate, its a sign your honey is the real deal 💛🐝

Beekeeper Jess checking out this frame in the sunlight to see if she can spot eggs - good eyesight is pretty important when beekeeping! 👀🐝
