Bee Fun Facts
A honeybee worker only makes an average of 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. One ounce of honey would fuel a bee’s flight around the world.
2 million flower visits produce one pound of honey. The bees fly a total of 55,000 miles to bring the nectar for one pound of honey. A honeybee visits 50-100 flowers in one trip.
Honeybees never sleep and an average hive has 50,000 to 60,000 worker bees. The honeybee is the only insect that produces food for humans.
New Zealand on the world map, mostly.
New Zealand Manuka honey collected from the west coast of the North Island. This is New Zealand’s best! Taranaki is a wild and rugged region towered over by Mt Egmont (Taranaki). New Zealand is famous for its raw natural beauty, world-class sailors, rugby, kiwifruit, fine wines, chocolate, and, of course, this one-of-a-kind rare MGO Manuka honey (MGO 100+). Herbaceous, rich, and earthy UMF Manuka honey is delectable.
Manuka trees only flower for a few weeks each year (approximately 2–6 weeks), so the beehives are situated in the densest populations of manuka bushes. Obviously, the weather and the amount of nectar the flowers produce all influence the quantity of honey produced each season. Manuka honey is rare, hence the higher cost. Genuine Manuka honey comes only from New Zealand, as the manuka bush (leptospermum scoparium) is native to New Zealand.
The indigenous Maori (Māori) of New Zealand (Aotearoa), who were among the first to inhabit the islands, discovered Manuka honey and its healing properties thousands of years ago. This local knowledge was passed down through the generations. The manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium) is an evergreen shrub or small tree with little white and occasionally pink flowers that attract pollinators, especially bees.
From the untouched heart of Taranaki, New Zealand, comes WildGift—an exquisite range of mānuka, native, and wild-flora honey born from purity and dripping with rich flavor.
Kotare Station, home to WildGift, is nestled within one of New Zealand’s most remote and rugged landscapes. In the shadow of the powerful Mt Damper Falls, WildGift bees roam across flowering fields and hidden hills thick with native kāmahi, rewarewa, rātā, and mānuka.
Founders Glenn and Wendy are passionate stewards of their land and bees. Alongside their team of dedicated beekeepers, they work year-round, carefully overseeing every step of the honey-making process to ensure only the most delicious honey reaches your table.
