Kanuka Honey - The Lesser-Known Cousin to Manuka
Don Buck Honey has plenty of Kanuka honey in stock. Kanuka is a tree that closely resembles the Manuka shrub. From its nectar honeybees produce a honey that is very thick like Manuka honey but with a distinctively different taste and health effects. Kanuka honey tastes rather earthy and is much less sweet than most honeys.
Kanuka honey has a green tint to it when seen in the honey frame (see picture!), but this disappears when the honey is extracted and potted.
Two Kanuka honey batches available:
• Waitakere Ranges Kanuka blend 500g. $12
• Far North Kanuka-Manuka blend (40+ mgo). $14
Potted honey is sold at a discount of 4+ pots, and these Kanuka honey pots are available in some of the combo packs sold by Don Buck Honey.
Pickups available, from Massey by prior arrangement or orders can be couriered to you.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
