Single site, small batch honey

Our honey is one of the closest things to nature you can get. We pride ourselves on being able to trace every jar of honey back to the site it came from and, because it's all small batch and single site, it's all limited edition. We don't heat treat any of our honey and we don't use any chemicals in our hives. We also offer a fill your own service - while we don't use plastic for any of our honey, we're more than happy to refill your container to keep it away from landfill. Just bring your own container into the shop and get 25% off the kilo price for that honey variety. But wait, there's more...we're also able to supply honey in bulk. Again, while we generally pack our honey in glass jars, we can look at options for providing honey in non-glass containers, with 2.5kg, 5kg and 10kg options for a selection of our honey varieties.

Aristaeus 2021 Manuka honey MGO134

MGO 134.

Available in 250g and 350g jars, as well as part of our gift box selection.
Aristaeus 2020 Manuka honey MGO77

MGO 77.

Harvested in March 2020 from Pio Pio (south west of Te Kuiti), this is a milder Manuka.

Aristaeus 2022 Esk Valley late harvest honey

Harvested in June 2022 from our site in Eskdale, just north of Napier on State Highway 5 (Napier - Taupo Road).

The bees were feeding on end of season grapes left on the vines after harvest from a vineyard bordering our apiary site.

With the texture of a good manuka honey and a caramel taste, it's cheeseboard all the way with this one - especially a good blue cheese.

This is a very limited edition, with only about 50kg in total produced from the site in 2022.

Available in 250g jars, as well as part of our gift box selection.
Aristaeus 2022 Estella late harvest honey

Harvested in June 2022, our Estella late harvest is from home base on my parent's kiwifruit orchard in Meeanee, Napier. More of a multi-floral and without the unique flavour of our other Estella honey.

Still runny in the jar as of November 2022.

A mild flavour, making it great for hot drinks and toast.

Available in 250g and 500g jars, as well as part of our gift box selection.
Aristaeus 2022 Estella orchard honey 500g

This is our flagship honey and from what is probably best described as home base.

Best guess, the bees were feeding primarily on clover, plantain and mellow.

A mild but unique flavour and firm in the jar (very finely crystalised), making it great for hot drinks and toast.

Available in 500g jars.
