I've been filling 5.5kg honey buckets. The bees have foraged this areas in in the Puketi forest in the Far North. Great for doing lots of cooking or baking that requires plenty of honey! Buckets are food grade. Light coloured honey with lots of Towai in it. Mild taste.

I sell the 5.5kg buckets for $60.

Pickups not allowed during current alert level but I can still use the courier to deliver these for $6 within urban Auckland.

If you would like one, message me OR email Donbuckhoney@gmail.com OR just go straight to my website:

If you would like to pick one up after lockdown ends (from Massey), be in touch and I can put you on a wait list.

Thank-you!

Content and censorship.

Ronald from Massey

I as just contacted by whoever runs Neighbourly and told my latest post would not be published because they didn't like a word I used.

The dictionary definition of the word used is "a layer of dirt or froth on the surface of a liquid". The word was used in a direct quote from the NZ Herald, it would appear then that is ok for MMS media to use it but not me. Funny really when Neighbourly is owned by Stuff, who promote themselves as champions of free speech.

Transport projects in Auckland have been given a $7.3 billion boost to be distributed over the next three years.

Major projects like the City Rail Link, Light Rail, Eastern Busway will be supported by the funds, as well highway upgrades and new walking and cycling connections.

It is part of a $24.3 billion transport package announced by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency on Tuesday.

Waka Kotahi spokesperson Steve Mutton said the funding will support growth with more accessible, sustainable travel options.

“Auckland is a world class city and it needs a world-class transport system that is safe and efficient to keep everyone moving as New Zealand’s largest city continues to grow,” he said.
