Kai Ora Honey

Smoke doesn’t calm bees. it just cuts the group chat 🐝 📱

Bees raise the alarm by smell. Smoke = signal lost. no service in the hive rn.

First thing you do at every hive. always. 💯

Some days I need to just work from home 🏡 🐓 🐝

The honey season is almost here ekk.

🌙 LAST NIGHT’S GRILL SESSION WAS UNREAL 🔥

We fired up the grill last night and did Tomahawk steaks from K R Meats drizzled in and honestly? We’re still thinking about it 😮‍💨 Sweet heat, smoky char, that glaze hitting different under the stars — zero notes, full send.

Weekend starting off right. 🥩🍯✨

People over profit, always 🐝🍯

when the manuka industry hit a rough patch, we had a choice: sell our own honey stock… or keep buying from the local families who’ve been with us for years.

we chose them. every time.

because it’s not about the biggest shed of honey — it’s about keeping communities thriving, kids in local sports, and bills paid. that’s the whole point.

not sponsored. just how we do business. 🫶

🐝 throwback to 5 years ago… and honestly? we’re getting emotional 🥹 .

this clip is a little time capsule of our halfway point — and looking back at it today, it hits different. building something across international markets was NEVER a straight line. some days felt like we were crawling, other days it felt like we were flying ⚡️ but either way, we just kept going.

and here’s the thing we want to say loud: none of this was ever just about the honey. it’s about the people. the land. the forest that gives us everything, before it ever becomes a jar on a shelf. people → place → product. always in that order 🌳🍯

we’re only here because YOU showed up for us — our community, our customers, everyone who’s ever trusted us to bring a little piece of the forest into your home. that’s not something we take lightly, ever.

so today we’re just sitting in the gratitude, celebrating how far we’ve come and excited for what’s still ahead. thank you for growing with us 💛
