Bee part of the Beeple story.

A staggering 52 percent of our supermarket produce is completely reliant on a bee at some point in its creation. If we feed the bees, the bees feed us!

We put beehives in backyards around the Wellington Region. People out in the community can sign up and become a Beeple Hive Host.

Together, we spread sweet goodness.

Beeple Honey

Our Beeple Honey

The world is sweeter together.

Buying our honey puts delicious, locally sourced sweet goodness on your toast and in your tea, whilst funding urban food programs and other yummy social enterprises in Te Awakairangi ki Tai, Lower Hutt.

Our honey is available for purchase on our online shop or at The Remakery Grocer. We have “fill your own” bush blend available in store, bring your own jar and fill up as much as you need. We also stock a range of botanical blends including Bush Blend, Mānaku, Pōhutukawa and Rewarewa.
