Manuka honey is different from other honeys in that it contains unique properties. There is a highly respected grading system that identifies true manuka honey. It is classified according to its unique manuka factor, UMF which is a quality trademark to identify honey that has special and unique properties.
The grading system was developed by the UMF Honey Association in New Zealand and grants UMF licenses to Manuka honey manufacturers
who meet their standards.

BeeNZ honey comes from bees that gather nectar and pollen from some of the richest indigenous honey forests in the world, remote and pure.
Our honey is foraged from a variety of flowers that grow wild and untouched in beautiful New Zealand.
Extraordinary natural properties are found in honey that grows free of any pollutants, making our honey not just a choice but an opportunity to connect with nature in the most authentic way.
Pure honey; a golden drop of goodness, foraged from flowers, woven by workers, directly from our bees to you, with our promise of purity.
New Zealand is recognised as one of the world’s most respected beekeeping countries, and we take our responsibility to bees very seriously.
At BeeNZ we believe our hard-working little bees need to be nurtured and protected. We are committed to supporting the eco-system within which our hives grow and flourish. While our beekeepers are of the highest pedigree, our farming principles are in line with best practice to ensure the longevity of both hive and environment.
We harvest only what they give, we add nothing, no additives, pesticides or harmful chemicals.
BeeNZ is a family owned and operated business based in the small town of Katikati in the beautiful Bay of Plenty on the North Island of New Zealand. David and Julie, a husband and wife team, oversee the journey of the honey from hive to jar. They are passionate about the environment and firmly believe that bee health is of the utmost importance.
Through the process of managing the beekeeper, extractor, processor, packer and finally the exporter, they ensure complete integrity throughout the honey-making process. Their respect for values, community and sustainability create an environment of trust, a key factor in the success of BeeNZ.
The business operates as a family unit, much like a hive; each member integral to the happiness and success of the whole. Following natures lead; crafted with care by one family, for another.
