Silver-Award Winning Honey from Waitakere Ranges

Christopher from Massey

The Best Honey in Auckland: Don Buck Honey's Waitakere Forest Blend!

This batch won the silver medal at the June 2022 Apiculture NZ Honey Awards for Runny/Liquid honey in the darker colouration category (and Don Buck Honey was the only winner north of Rotorua).

During the lockdown of Nov-Dec 2021 while many Aucklanders were worried that we might not be allowed to leave town for a summer break at the beach, our honeybees were toiling away to forage nectars from the forests of Auckland’s very own Waitakere Ranges.

This honey is a dark and beautiful batch of runny honey, and according to a laboratory pollen analysis comes mainly from Tawherowhero and Acacia flowers with a little Manuka and Rewarewa.

500g pots. I'm selling them for $13 each or four (4x) for $45. Also available as part of a variety combo of four pots for $40, and in the Mixed Box of twelve pots for $110. Also have a limited number of 2kg minibuckets for $40.

Honey should be stored at room temperature and can be returned to a runny and smooth consistency if needed by warming it gently and slowly in hot water. If you like your honey soft-solid with a creamy texture rather than runny let me know - some of the pots have crystallised.

Can you crack Today’s neighbourhood conundrum?

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?
