A hand-set directory of NZ apiaries
Five honey types — mānuka, clover, rewarewa, pohutukawa, multifloral. Twelve apiaries across eight NZ regions. UMF and MGO ratings explained without the marketing fog, and a notebook of seasonal harvest reports from the people who actually wear the bee suits.

Why use NZ Honey instead of Googling it yourself
Doing the research yourself means phoning around, chasing quotes, and comparing apples to pears. We do it in one form.
Real apiaries, real regions
Every apiary on this directory is a working NZ producer registered under Apiculture NZ standards. We list by region, not by ad budget — placement isn't for sale, ever.
UMF & MGO, demystified
Mānuka grading is its own dialect — UMF 5+, 10+, 15+, 20+ and the MGO numbers behind them. We explain what each tier actually means in the jar, in plain words.
Honest about what's mānuka
Not every dark, runny honey labelled 'mānuka' meets the Ministry for Primary Industries definition. We name what's monofloral, what's multifloral, and what's just kānuka in marketing clothing.
Tip-offs, not transactions
We don't sell honey. We connect curious people with NZ apiaries — fill the form once, hear back from the producer direct. No commission grabs, no tracking pixels in your jar.
