To find the best We Go Where Others Can’t

Our hives are airlifted by helicopter into some of New Zealand’s most remote manuka forests. These locations were chosen for their isolation, purity, and high-density manuka coverage. 

These untouched environments are inaccessible by road, but they offer the perfect conditions for bees to forage exclusively on manuka blossoms. 

This focused placement results in a higher concentration of manuka nectar, supporting stronger UMF and MGO levels in the honey.
