Silver-Award Winning Waitakere Ranges Honey - 2kg Buckets
This is my award-winning Waitakere Ranges Forest blend honey. It won a silver award at the 2022 Apiculture NZ Honey awards. It has a range of nectar types in it but according to a pollen test it has lots of Tawherowhero and Acacia in it - a rather surprising mix (the previous season's batch had lots of Manuka and Rewarewa in it).
I've put a limited amount into 2kg buckets and am selling them through my online store for $35. (500g pots are also sold $13).
The award winning honey is also part of a 4-pack for $40, and a variety box of 12x pots for $100.
This honey is from last summer and is from a collection of bee hive sites in West Auckland's very own Waitakere Ranges.
Order through my online store - you can opt to pick it up (from Massey/Henderson North) or have it couriered, and pay by cash, bank transfer, or credit card.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
