Need some bees wax?
Don Buck Honey supplies bees wax blocks (approx. 250g each). Bees wax is used for making balms, polishes, kawakawa balm, and cloth food wraps.
These sell for $12 each, and this price is discounted for orders of 4+, 6+, 12+ blocks or pots of honey (as per my usual mix & match bundle discounts).
Wax blocks are made from the scrapings off the tops of bee hive frames, and from the wax cappings that are removed during the honey extraction process. These all get melted down and filtered to get out brood husks, dead bees, and other rubbish. Once this is cooled it is melted a second time to remove further impurities and poured into smaller molds for sale.
I also sell larger rough blocks that haven’t been as fully refined for $30/kg.
Order through the Don Buck Honey website or get in touch with me direct. Pickups are from Massey, or I can courier to you with Post Haste.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
87% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
13% No. This would be impossible in practice.
