From its nectar honeybees produce a honey that is very thick like Manuka honey but with a distinctively different taste and health effects. Kanuka honey tastes rather earthy and is much less sweet than most honeys.
Kanuka honey has a green tint to it when seen in the honey frame (see picture!), but this disappears when the honey is extracted and potted.
Two Kanuka honey batches available:
• Waitakere Ranges Kanuka blend 500g. $12
• Far North Kanuka-Manuka blend (40+ mgo). $14
Potted honey is sold at a discount of 4+ pots, and these Kanuka honey pots are available in some of the combo packs sold by Don Buck Honey.
Pickups available, from Massey by prior arrangement or orders can be couriered to you.

Overall, Most Kiwis say they’re ‘not prospering’. But, according to Retirement Commission data, some members of our community (women, Māori, and Pacific people) are experiencing worsening financial positions at elevated rates.
Stats NZ tells us that food prices have jumped 4.6% since this time last year, with meat and dairy doing most of the damage. This jump is hitting us all, but groceries are just one part of the picture.
When basic costs keep climbing, the old cost-saving tricks — like bulk-buying or stockpiling on sale — don’t always work. Who can afford to spend more upfront when every dollar already has a job?
We want to know: What costs have caught you off guard the most? What are the expenses that feel impossible to juggle right now?

Consumer NZ is stoked, saying these sneaky surcharges cost Kiwis around $65 million a year and should’ve been gone ages ago.
But not everyone’s convinced it’s a win. Labour and Hospitality NZ are worried the costs won’t just disappear. Labour MP Arena Williams put it simply: there should not be surcharges for customers at all. But she points out that the Government’s plan does not deal with banks and merchants “who still scoop a big fee”.
Many of our community are rocked by the recent announcement. Retailers warn card surcharge ban could lead to higher prices - the unfortunatel reality is that small businesses are feeling the squeeze along with their customers. In comparison, large retailers pay significantly lower banking fees and ultimately have more leverage at the negotiation table.
💸 So someone still pays – but who?
We want to know: Who should be covering this cost?
