When we’re not beekeeping our days may* look like this….
Walking the Merino Wethers out to the backcountry for the remainder of the Summer. The fun part is trying to find them all again before Winter!
*sometimes they are much less glamorous 😝
If you’re heading on a flight with Air New Zealand soon be sure to keep an eye out for us in the Kia Ora magazine! ✈️
You’ll find us in the January edition of Eat, Drink, Cook by Shelley Howells

The beautiful sights of a beehive in Summer!
Lots of lovely brood (baby bees) - can you spot the eggs and larvae? Some hives are getting very tall (overachievers 😝) and there’s also more comb honey ready to harvest (shop online 😉)
Lots to keep us beekeepers busy!

HONEYCOMB back in stock! 🍯
We have both our larger squares and our smaller squares of honeycomb back available again.
The bees didn’t take a holiday break and have been working super hard so it’s ready earlier than we expected 🎉
But same goes as last year- it’s a limited quantity and only available direct from us, so if you’ve been waiting for it then be sure to order online asap!

Comb honey squares are on the hives and the bees are working very hard to craft these masterpieces. Who’s excited for these to be available again?! 🤩
Comb honey is harder to produce. We have to get our timing of putting the squares in the hives just right as the bees must be on a strong honey flow to be able to draw out the wax before they can fill it… remember it takes approx. 8kg of honey to produce just 1kg of wax!
Newsletter subscribers will be the first to hear when our comb honey is back in stock… so if you’re not one already then head to our website to join!
P.S. our website is still open for orders but they won’t be shipped/ delivered until Monday 8th January

In the lead up to Christmas we’ve got to check the progress of the hives and add more honey supers where needed. They’re onto a honey flow now and super busy! 🐝🍯
We’re hoping we get some rain to help the white clover produce abundant nectar & a bit less wind so the bees can fly easily to collect it. The weather plays a huge role in each seasons harvest! ☀️💨🌧️
