Pohutukawa Honey from the Bay of Islands' ISLANDS

Christopher from Massey

Bay of Islands Pohutukawa Honey from Don Buck Honey

I have available a special batch of Pohutukawa honey from some ISLANDS in the Bay of Islands in the Far North of New Zealand. The hives that this honey came from can only be accessed by boat. This honey was harvested between some fishing and diving and then brought back to the mainland on the boat. Produced by an affiliate beekeeper (although I helped harvest and pot it!) and brought to you by Don Buck Honey.

Pohutukawa honey is collected from the flowers of the Pohutukawa tree – fondly known as the ‘New Zealand Christmas tree’, since they decorate themselves with masses of red flowers every summer before Christmas. Pohutukawa honey is a very light colored honey, although this batch is darker as it has a dash of Kanuka honey in it which the bees also foraged while the Pohutukawa trees were flowering. It is one of the sweeter varieties of honey we make in NZ. Some people say they can taste a faint salty hint in Pohutukawa honey from the coastal climate the trees grow in.

I’m selling this in 370g pots for $14 or four for $50. Less again if brought in larger quantities. Also available in a Far North Five pot variety pack ($60).

Pickups are from Massey, or orders can be couriered to you with Post Haste. Go to my website to place an order or get in touch!

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! 😱
