Story

Welcome to Golden Apiaries. Being a family run, local beekeeping business, we love to provide affordable honey of high quality to the family table. We are passionate about bees and pride ourselves on our ability to look after the bee population by minimising chemical contact with the bees and taking steps to ensure the health of each individual hive.

Our honeys that we produce vary according to the season, and often include Clover / Pasture, Bush (may include kamahi, manuka / kanuka, clover, rata, honeydew and more), Rata, Honeydew and Manuka.

We also produce mated queens and queen cells for the commercial beekeeper. Please contact us to order.

"Golden Apiaries is a small, family run beekeeping business based in Motueka. We breed Queen bees commercially and provide local pollination services.Our Tasman Gold honey is all raw – not fine filtered or heat treated so it retains all the natural goodness – natural pollen, vitamins and minerals in the honey.Our Tasman Gold reusable beeswax food wraps and bags are made out of 100% cotton fabric, jojoba oil, tree resin and beeswax from our own hives and have a reputation for being extremely durable and sticky!We are extremely passionate about our bees and their health so we use sustainable beekeeping methods that do not rely on traditional chemical varroa miticides and feeding sugar except where necessary."
