How Alexandra Thyme Honey operates
Alexandra Thyme Honey is one of the few NZ apiaries still producing genuine single-flora wild thyme honey — the dry, alpine, herbal honey that Central Otago is famous for. It's a tiny operation by national standards (380 hives), but what comes out of it is some of the most distinctive honey in the country. Hard to find, sold mostly direct.
