Why We Love What We Do
At Black Shepherd Apiaries, we’re passionate about producing some of the best honey in New Zealand, pure, raw, and straight from our hives. Whether it’s bold Manuka, toasty Rewarewa, or delicate Clover blends, every jar is a reflection of our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the wellbeing of our bees.
We believe great honey starts with healthy hives and a deep respect for the land. That’s why we keep our processes simple and transparent, offering 100% New Zealand honey that’s authentic, traceable, and naturally delicious. From organic honey to our hand-poured beeswax candles, everything we make is crafted with care, good for you, good for the planet.
