Pohutukawa Honey from the Bay of Islands' ISLANDS
Bay of Islands Pohutukawa Honey from Don Buck Honey
I have available a special batch of Pohutukawa honey from some ISLANDS in the Bay of Islands in the Far North of New Zealand. The hives that this honey came from can only be accessed by boat. This honey was harvested between some fishing and diving and then brought back to the mainland on the boat. Produced by an affiliate beekeeper (although I helped harvest and pot it!) and brought to you by Don Buck Honey.
Pohutukawa honey is collected from the flowers of the Pohutukawa tree – fondly known as the ‘New Zealand Christmas tree’, since they decorate themselves with masses of red flowers every summer before Christmas. Pohutukawa honey is a very light colored honey, although this batch is darker as it has a dash of Kanuka honey in it which the bees also foraged while the Pohutukawa trees were flowering. It is one of the sweeter varieties of honey we make in NZ. Some people say they can taste a faint salty hint in Pohutukawa honey from the coastal climate the trees grow in.
I’m selling this in 370g pots for $14 or four for $50. Less again if brought in larger quantities. Also available in a Far North Five pot variety pack ($60).
Pickups are from Massey, or orders can be couriered to you with Post Haste. Go to my website to place an order or get in touch!

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
