Silver-Award Winning Honey from Waitakere Ranges

Christopher from Massey

The Best Honey in Auckland: Don Buck Honey's Waitakere Forest Blend!

This batch won the silver medal at the June 2022 Apiculture NZ Honey Awards for Runny/Liquid honey in the darker colouration category (and Don Buck Honey was the only winner north of Rotorua).

During the lockdown of Nov-Dec 2021 while many Aucklanders were worried that we might not be allowed to leave town for a summer break at the beach, our honeybees were toiling away to forage nectars from the forests of Auckland’s very own Waitakere Ranges.

This honey is a dark and beautiful batch of runny honey, and according to a laboratory pollen analysis comes mainly from Tawherowhero and Acacia flowers with a little Manuka and Rewarewa.

500g pots. I'm selling them for $13 each or four (4x) for $45. Also available as part of a variety combo of four pots for $40, and in the Mixed Box of twelve pots for $110. Also have a limited number of 2kg minibuckets for $40.

Honey should be stored at room temperature and can be returned to a runny and smooth consistency if needed by warming it gently and slowly in hot water. If you like your honey soft-solid with a creamy texture rather than runny let me know - some of the pots have crystallised.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
