Our Wild Mānuka Honey is produced by bees collecting nectar from the native Mānuka plant, a scrubby tree that is abundant across New Zealand and is well known for its medicinal antibacterial qualities. These unique properties have led Wild Mānuka honey to be one of the most researched honeys in the world. The small white flowers of the Mānuka tree bloom during spring and summer in New Zealand and this is the time of year when the bees collect the nectar and produce the honey.
