Our Bees
The real stars of the show? Our bees. Our hives are tucked away on a number of local farms around the region, carefully placed to give the bees the best of what the landscape has to offer. We manage our hives with care, experience, and a deep respect for the bees and the environment.

The story of our family business begins with John (Jan) and Celia, who immigrated to New Zealand from Holland after World War II in search of a new life. From humble beginnings with John and Celia’s first hive to today’s modern honey processing facility, we’re proud to carry on a legacy of care, craftsmanship, and connection to nature.
