Award Winning Kanuka Honey
WE WON BRONZE!!
This is our Creamed Kanuka Honey from the Far North. It was entered in the 2021 Apiculture NZ Honey contest and won third place in the ‘Creamed Honey’ class for medium-colour entries.
I can’t take much of the credit for this as it isn’t my own honey – it was produced by my wife’s dad’s bees. I didn’t even pot this batch – I paid my sister-in-law to do that for me. All I did was slap my Don Buck Honey sticker on it for marketing. And send in a pot to the honey contest!
This Kanuka honey has a super-smooth texture and a distinctive flavour that is less sweet and more earthy than most honey types.
If you would like to try award-winning honey these are going for $13 each, or three for $30 until the end of August. 500g pots. Nationwide courier $4 (non-RD).

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
