These hives are sitting up on our Argentine ant pellets. Our first checks after winter, hives are looking great and no A Ants to be seen, just the normal black ants.

I joined Pete today, being my first time out with him, checking the hives after winter. Spring is certainly in the air and our girls are looking good ..
The poplars are all still wintery and bare, and we're picking our days, but there is alot to do..

Taking old mouldy comb out of the brood box and putting fresher clean frames in, putting honey closer to the laying Queens, scraping the base boards out, and cleaning down thick old frames so they can be refreshed and rebuilt .. Putting our mite treatments in and sharing spare honey frames around.. Doing our AFB checks ✔️

It's the last few days of winter, and Pete's done his first inspection.. our home site hives are looking good and strong and the Queens are active with more brood than expected. Probably because they went through winter with so much excess honey!
Topping up the Oxalic strips for mite control which have been in all winter, moving out empty old frames and putting excess honey closer. We're hoping our other Apiaries are looking just as good, though the home block is spoiled for choice.

This time of year, Pete will start later in the day as it warms, and finish early, around 4pm before it gets too cool, and no beekeeping unless it's a nice warm sunny day..

Another batch of Raw Manuka is on the website in a large KG jar, rated at 9.2 NPA (230MGO). Not quite a 10+ but nearly!

I possibly have too many Manuka batches on my website! 😅 But I am so excited with what our summer harvest delivered, I just want to share it all! And give my customers many options..

This is a beautiful slightly sandy-textured Manuka, with the odd tiny fleck of pollen and propolis obvious if you peer closely, adding to its goodness. It is from the end of our Mahurangi West Peninsula, harvested last January.

I will have just a couple of this batch on the weekend market stall, so message me if you want one held back. The 1kg jar is available for $47, or $25 for a 500g jar, and I deliver for just $5 Auckland wide, larger orders are free delivery

It's our last month of winter, and our downtime has seen us settle into a routine of relaxed honey farm busyness with the markets every weekend...

I'm often asked what do the bees do in winter?
The Queen usually stops breeding, so the numbers drop drastically. They don't hibernate, but they do live off their honey and pollen stores, and they use a lot of energy, keeping in a warm cluster . The useless male drones have been pushed out of the hive, so there are fewer mouths to feed. Some of the bees will be out foraging for pollen on nicer warm sunny days.

Pete and I keep ourselves busy with jobs around the property we have been wanting to do all summer. I love to bake bread, make marmalade, and keep my beebalms, candles, and winter Elixir stocked up for the weekend markets and website..

It's a good, simple, sustainable lifestyle we are comfortable with, and the steady support at the markets and online sales have been amazing. Thank you ! ❤️ 🙏

I am taking the working week off and heading to Wellington with my daughter. I will be back for next weekend markets, and any online orders will be dispatched from the following Monday, 11th August

We were called up to this site after some wild cattle had come in and pushed over a hive.
We took breakfast and strops and enjoyed the beautiful high mountain site on a cold, wintery morning.
This apiary is new and has only served us one season, and it delivered the purest Rewarewa we have ever experienced. Our precious Honeysuckle tree flowers very early in the spring, along with the manuka, but there doesn't appear to be much manuka out here, unlike our other site, where we get a blend of both.
The flavor is like treacled plums, a divine mature honey experienced ✨️ and one of our most popular heavenly honeys on the market stall and website , in creamed or natural crystal

Manuka, at its purest! I love unadulterated crystalised honey, and this is the bomb!
Sourced from our beautiful mountain top site in Matakana, a blend of Manuka and delicious Rewarewa nectar, this is a match made in heaven. Left to set to its own crystal , the white "frosting" is a natural occurrence, and this batch has a naturally fine smooth texture.

New on my website at $44 a kg and rated 6.6NPA (132MGO), a beautiful, delicious winter honey, certified medicinal grade, and your go-to for everything in life .

Our Story

Welcome to Mahurangi Honey, a small Beekeeping business with apiaries situated on different sites, in the beautiful Mahurangi West Peninsular, including local regional parks.

We harvest raw, pure honey in January, which is bottled directly after it has been taken from the hives. This process allows us to retain all of the fresh, natural properties and goodness found in this delicious golden nectar. We sell our honey directly to the public at local Farmers Markets in Orewa and Parnell and we also supply a few local food outlets in Orewa, Warkworth and Matakana.

We are earth conscious people who use traditional and organic Beekeeping practices, which means nothing is wasted. After harvest we clean and melt the wax with a slow cooked smelter; I make wax based balms, polishes and food wraps, which are also available at our market stall. We dabble in Mead making too, using second grade honey and enjoy experimenting with different flavours sourced from home grown fruits and berries - we are perfecting the brew each season!

Beekeeping has been a life long hobby turned lifestyle, we are passionate about and committed to. It has now turned into a semi commercial business with hives situated close to home, reducing the carbon footprint... Beekeeping keeps us busy and keeps things simple.
