A single location to call home
Awhi bees live undisturbed, natural lives in the remote wilderness of our tribal lands in the foothills of Mount Ruapehu, a volcano in the heart of New Zealand's North Island.
Harvested once a year, with care
Unlike conventional honey producers we harvest Mānuka honey just once each year, gently and naturally, without chemicals, heat or blowing smoke.
A treasure
Nurturing our lands to nurture our bees
We plant areas around our hives with a variety of native flowering species, so our bees can feed on nectar and pollen throughout the year. Our bees live their lives in a lush alpine environment with minimal intervention, free to forage and feed themselves the way nature intended.
Our remote landscape preserves our honey's purity
Mānuka flowers late, so we know that when we harvest in late autumn, the honey is pure Mānuka. We test each batch, just to be sure. We also test for other contaminants, although they're extremely unlikely in such a clean, isolated environment.
A caring approach to beekeeping
At Awhi we believe that all of nature is interconnected, from the tallest trees to the smallest insects. We care for our bees, as gently and naturally as possible, so that they can live healthy, stress-free lives. We give to them as they give to us.
