Don Buck Honey: 5.5kg Honey Buckets - $60

Christopher from Massey

A lot of people buy honey from me to replace their use of processed sugar - if this sounds like you, my honey buckets might be your thing.

This is Towai honey - a lighter coloured honey with a mild taste and is at the sweeter end of the range of honeys I have to sell.

A lot of people buy honey from me to replace their use of processed sugar - if this sounds like you, my honey buckets might be your thing.

This is Towai honey - a lighter coloured honey with a mild taste and is at the sweeter end of the range of honeys I have to sell.

The current batch in buckets is from the Waipoua forest in Northland – the forest where the giant Kauri tree known as Tāne Mahuta is located. These hives aren't my own, they're my in-law's hives and I do some honey-hustling for them alongside my own honey!

Great for hot drinks or doing lots of cooking or baking that requires plenty of honey.

These are 5.5kg and I sell them for $60. I also have 500g pots - $10 each, less if you buy a bunch of pots at once.

I can ship TWO (and only two) 5.5kg buckets as one package.

Courier is $7 within Auckland, otherwise pickup is from Massey.

A Hot Bath
Create a bedtime schedule that includes a hot bath or shower. Take it about two hours before lying down. Add a couple drops of essential oils such as chamomile, rosemary, lavender, or lemon to the water for a more efficient experience. It will soothe your nerves and help you calm down; it's a simple step to add to your at-home remedies for insomnia.

Tart Cherry Juice
An excellent source of tryptophan, tart cherry juice is a natural sleep aid. The amino acid transforms to serotonin, which in turn converts to melatonin. Serotonin helps regulate your sleep cycles. Melatonin can lower your body temperature and lead to drowsiness. Indulge in a half cup (up to one cup) of tart cherry juice and allow yourself to drift off to sleep.

Chamomile Tea
Tea, in general, is an at-home remedy for several health ailments. Chamomile tea has been related to treating sleeping problems for centuries. A compound known as apigenin in chamomile might be the key to the natural drowsiness.
