Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

Comb Honey

Christopher from Massey

A lot of people ask if I do comb honey as well as potted honey, so I thought I'd better make some. A real novelty for many people – this is the natural form of honey, just as the bees make it.

A real novelty for many people – this is the natural form of honey, just as the bees make it. Honeybees build comb cells out of wax and store their honey in it, covering it over with more wax once the honey is ready. The wax is safe to eat but it does get stuck in your teeth – so many people spit that out!

Discounts for mix-and-match purchases of 4+ items of potted honey or honey comb.
