Join us this Saturday from 2:30pm to 4:30pm to get a taste of our most delicious manuka honey, Bees & Trees. Their honey has such a nice, buttery texture - and is the most flavorful manuka honey we have tried. If you’ve never heard of manuka honey, that’s okay, our staff member Deborah will be able to tell you all about it during the demo! One of our favorite ways of using manuka is externally, for any kinds of skin complaints. But not only for external use, lower concentrations of manuka are wonderful for immune support. You do not want to miss this opportunity to learn and taste!

The Manuka Tree - also called Tea Tree but not to be mixed up with the Tea Tree oil that we all know!

From their website -

“Our company reflects our passion to create and deliver the finest Mānuka Honey available. Our bees forage in the remote hillsides of the Taranaki region of New Zealand, which is on the west-central part of the North Island. These pristine areas have been only lightly-touched by the impact of human development, and our honeys reflect this beautiful environment. Integrity and transparency are central to our philosophy and products, as we work in partnership with the natural resources of the Taranaki region.”

“What is Mānuka Honey?

Mānuka Honey is honey made by bees foraging on the nectar of the flowering Mānuka tree, which is native to, and grows mainly in New Zealand. Mānuka honey has been termed a "superfood" for its overall health and wellness properties. 

Research performed in New Zealand & in Germany in the 1990s identified a unique and potent antibacterial property of Mānuka honey, methylglyoxal (abbreviated MG or MGO) which stimulated worldwide interest and markets. Active Mānuka honey contains varying degrees of dietary methylglyoxal.”
