How Kerikeri Bee Co operates
Kerikeri Bee Co is one of Northland's oldest continuously-running apiaries, in its third generation of family operation. They run mānuka stands on bush blocks across the Bay of Islands and a smaller pasture-and-citrus apiary outside Kerikeri itself — the latter producing the orchard-citrus bush blend they're locally famous for. Steady, dependable operation with their own packing and labelling.
