Award Winning Kanuka Honey
WE WON BRONZE!!
This is our Creamed Kanuka Honey from the Far North. It was entered in the 2021 Apiculture NZ Honey contest and won third place in the ‘Creamed Honey’ class for medium-colour entries.
I can’t take much of the credit for this as it isn’t my own honey – it was produced by my wife’s dad’s bees. I didn’t even pot this batch – I paid my sister-in-law to do that for me. All I did was slap my Don Buck Honey sticker on it for marketing. And send in a pot to the honey contest!
This Kanuka honey has a super-smooth texture and a distinctive flavour that is less sweet and more earthy than most honey types.
If you would like to try award-winning honey these are going for $13 each, or three for $30 until the end of August. 500g pots. Nationwide courier $4 (non-RD).

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
