Our popular Marokopa Spring honey is back in stock!!

Sweetree's Marokopa Spring is collected from late September to November from the remote west coast settlement of Marokopa, south of the renowned Waitomo Caves.  Here our bees forage on hill country wildflowers, clover and native bush such as Rewarewa, Kamahi and Heketara.  This season's Marokopa Spring has a strong Rewarewa component.  It really is delicious!
 

Here are some photos of Sweetree's Marokopa Spring honey - from our beehives to your table!  

 

It's great having our 16-year-old son helping out, he's enjoying spending quality time with his dad, even if it means really early starts.	Fresh frames of Marokopa Spring honey, nothing like it.  Yum!

Where do you put your dental floss?  Our dental hygienist suggested in the shower!  It's been the perfect place for us to remember to floss, I'm flossing way more than I used to.  I was worried about the container collecting condensation but I keep it out of the water on a shelf in the shower and it's perfectly fine, as you can see in this photo. 

You might be able to tell we're just about out of dental floss but the great news is, with eco-floss, I can just replace the reel of floss in my glass bottle with a refill!  No plastic wastage anymore!  Perfect!
