I've been filling 5.5kg honey buckets. The bees have foraged this areas in in the Puketi forest in the Far North. Great for doing lots of cooking or baking that requires plenty of honey! Buckets are food grade. Light coloured honey with lots of Towai in it. Mild taste.

I sell the 5.5kg buckets for $60.

Pickups not allowed during current alert level but I can still use the courier to deliver these for $6 within urban Auckland.

If you would like one, message me OR email Donbuckhoney@gmail.com OR just go straight to my website:

www.donbuckhoney.co.nz...

If you would like to pick one up after lockdown ends (from Massey), be in touch and I can put you on a wait list.

Thank-you!

Price: $60

The dictionary definition of the word used is "a layer of dirt or froth on the surface of a liquid". The word was used in a direct quote from the NZ Herald, it would appear then that is ok for MMS media to use it but not me. Funny really when Neighbourly is owned by Stuff, who promote themselves as champions of free speech.

Kia ora neighbours,

Kāinga Ora has admitted it let one of its tenants down after she was forced to live in a car with her young son due to black mould in her home.

The tenant, who has name suppression, took the housing provider to the Tenancy Tribunal, claiming the house she lived in caused both her and her son to become sick.

She said she had no health issues before moving into the house on Harry Ward Place in West Auckland’s Henderson.

During the tenancy, she developed a runny nose, itchy eyes, cough, rash on her arms and legs, impetigo, skin infections and likely upper respiratory infections.

The tenant said her son, who was 3 at the time, was also hospitalised for a respiratory infection.

I used it a week ago to get my groceries and we are supposed to be in lockdown - LEVEL 4!!!
My diary is up to date, they can see that - for crying out loud!!!

Time to turn off the reminders for the diary.
