New Zealand Native Bush Honey is a bold, complex honey crafted from New Zealand’s untouched alpine forests. This small-batch treasure captures the wild essence of the bush, with bees foraging from Manuka, Kanuka, Mountain Beech honeydew, and native botanicals like Pohuehue, Five Finger, Lotus, wild Roses, and Clover.

The result is a rich, multidimensional Native Bush Honey unlike any other. Cold-extracted to protect its natural enzymes and goodness, this honey offers a dense, chewy texture and deep, golden hue that speaks to its raw purity and forest origins.

Each spoonful of Native Bush Honey delights the palate with layers of golden syrup, vanilla, and butterscotch, finishing with a smooth honeysuckle sweetness. Its woodsy floral aroma and velvety mouthfeel make it a favourite among connoisseurs of wild New Zealand honey.

Perfect for drizzling on toast, spooning into herbal tea, or enjoying by the spoonful, Native Bush Honey is nature’s indulgence—crafted without sugar feeding, artificial MGO, or heat treatment. Just raw, wild goodness straight from our alpine hives.

Due to its diverse nectar sources and small-batch harvesting, every jar of Native Bush Honey is a rare expression of the seasons. It’s a pantry essential for foodies, wellness seekers, and anyone who values the rich botanical heritage of New Zealand’s native forest.

Experience the bold, complex character of Native Bush Honey—a luxurious gift from the wild, made by bees, perfected by nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products

Native Bush Honey is a wild, raw honey made from the nectar of multiple native New Zealand trees — including kāmahi, māhoe, rewarewa, and beech forests. Ours is gathered from deep alpine bush in Mt Lyford, resulting in a robust, complex flavour that reflects the untouched wilderness of Aotearoa.

Yes — Native Bush Honey contains natural antibacterial properties and is high in antioxidants, prebiotics, and enzymes that support digestion, immunity, and overall wellness. It’s a great daily honey for those looking to replace processed sugars with something naturally functional.

Unlike commercial honey, ours is raw, unheated, and never sugar-fed. Mass-produced honey is often filtered, pasteurised, and blended. Mt Lyford Native Bush Honey is 100% pure, traceable, and handcrafted in small seasonal batches — the way nature intended.

Because it’s truly wild, the flavour changes with the weather, flowering patterns, and forest conditions. Some years produce stronger rewarewa notes, while others bring out the caramel tones of kāmahi. No two batches are ever quite the same — and that’s the magic.

It’s bold and earthy with notes of burnt toffee, wild herbs, and forest floor. You might taste a hint of honeysuckle, and vanilla-toffee, depending on the season. It's a favourite among chefs and honey lovers who enjoy full-bodied, character-rich honeys.

Our Native Bush Honey comes from hives tucked away in the remote alpine forests of North Canterbury. The bees forage from native species at altitude, completely free from pesticide sprays or agricultural runoff — making it as pure as the land it comes from.
