What's so good about Honey Dew honey?

Rod from Hive World 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.

Hikoi - North Island

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police have established a Major Operations Centre (MOC) to provide oversight of the Police response to the upcoming hīkoi from Northland to Wellington.

The MOC, based at Police National Headquarters in Wellington, is providing logistical, resource and communication support to all districts along the hīkoi route.
Major Operations Director Superintendent Kelly Ryan says Police have been engaged with hīkoi organisers for many weeks.
“Our discussions with organisers to date have been positive and we expect the hīkoi to be conducted in a peaceful and lawful manner,” she says.
The hīkoi is expected to leave Northland today (Monday 11 November) and travel to Wellington, arriving at Parliament between Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 November.

“We’ve planned for large numbers to join the hīkoi, with disruption likely to some roads, including highways and main streets along the route,” Superintendent Ryan says.
“The MOC will support our frontline, district-based staff with the management of people, vehicles and activities, while also maintaining central oversight.
“We will continue to co-ordinate with iwi leaders and our partners across government to ensure public safety and minimal disruption to people going about their daily routine.
“We’re also well connected with NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi and local councils to ensure road users have up-to-date information and can plan accordingly.
“The MOC will remain in place while the hīkoi is in Wellington and as participants make their way back home safely.”
