What's so good about Honey Dew honey?
We find our customers are very conservative about the honey they buy.
We would like to educate you on New Zealand's finest honey varieties. This week we feature HONEY DEW.
• A truly organic honey
This is because honeydew is not collected from flowers but produced by aphids in the Beech forests of the South Island of New Zealand. The honeydew is then collected by bees and stored as honey.
• Contains high levels of Oligosaccharides.
This is a powerful prebiotic that supports and promotes beneficial gut bacteria. Typically, honeydew has a lower level of glucose and fructose and higher levels of complex sugars. Honeydew contains higher levels of anti-oxidants and minerals than floral honeys.
• Provides perfect complement to strong flavours.
Honeydew adds a flavour kick to muesli, cereal and smoothies. Goes marvelously with pears, apples and blue cheese.
• Perfect for drizzling.
This rich dark malt-flavoured honey does not crystallize so will stay runny to the end of the jar.
• Hidden treasure:
Honeydew is the most under-rated honey in New Zealand. It is one of our premium export honeys. It is a very popular honey in Europe, the best known is honeydew from the Black Forest in Germany. It is also known as Pine Honey.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
💨 Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! 🌧️ We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.
In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!
The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! ☀️
Any local hidden spots or activities you’d recommend for a calm Wellington day? Drop them in the comments! 👇
