Our Beekeepers
Bees are our beekeepers’ inspiration and hives are their happiest place to be. Our honey is put together by our most experienced beekeeping team in New Zealand. It takes a skillful hand not just in removing the honeycombs from the hives, but also in locating the hives itself through the resilient and dense Manuka bush situated in the rugged terrain and mountain ranges.
The Manuka flowers only bloom for few weeks per year in mid-December. As a result, our beekeepers have to work around the clock in the very small bloom window to collect the pure nectar flow. Besides the delicacy of the Manuka flower, the short period of time it blooms and and the remote places it grows, climate extremes can be a challenge to our beekeepers too. Handling Manuka Flowers require much patience and prudence, as they are susceptible to even the slightest variations in rainfall and wind.
