Don introduced Sol to the 10 Second Chess Game. "Do you like golf Sol?" Much to my delight he handed my son a left handed golf club and some balls to play with while we were harvesting honey. On return to his whare Don insisted Sol take the golf club with him. We love visiting Don and enjoy listening to his stories, with a cup of tea and cake, about Uncle Errol and their rugby days at Opotiki College.

The Waitoa whānau are well known on the East Coast. Richard was given the blessing from his mother to pursue a pathway into the honey industry for the benefit of their extended whanau. We are blessed to have Richard and the Waitoa whānau as an integral heart of our Whenua Honey whānau.

Meet Greg. Our hive nuke bases are built utilizing recycled native timber sourced from our local chopping board factory and friend Greg King. Greg is great at telling stories, fishing, flying planes, diving and did we mention Greg is really good at telling stories....

OUR GUARANTEE Our whānau (family) whakapapa (descendants) from East Coast Iwi (tribes) of Aotearoa (New Zealand) Ngāti Porou, Te Whānau-a-Apanui, Ngāi Tai, Te Whakatōhea, Ngāi Tūhoe and Ngā Puhi. This means we have a cultural connection to the land from which our honey is harvested and we feel very blessed to share this special taonga with you - hence our name Whenua Honey was born.
