How it's made

From our hives to your door

  1. We keep the bees. Over 1,400 hives, in the bush from Queensland into New South Wales.

  2. We lift the frames. Murray, second generation, working the hives the way his parents did.

  3. We spin it in our shed. Extracted at Peak Crossing, in our own shed.

  4. We fill the bottles. Kept, extracted and packed by one family.

  5. We post it to you. Posted Australia wide. Nobody in between.

Manuka from Rainbow Beach, at the lab now. When the result is back it goes on the lid and on the batch page. Punch in the code from your lid and see where it came from.
