Last years barley crop for our Honey & Barley Soap (and also to feed a few thousand sheep! π)
Our Honey & Barley soap is a gentle exfoliating soap, great for all skin types and the honey leaves your skin soft and moisturised. Have you tried it? πΎπ§Ό
If not or you need another bar you can shop on our website π

In case you missed it… our honeycomb squares will be back in stock very soon, thanks to the incredible work of our hardworking bees! ππͺ
Each honey season here in the Cardrona Valley is unique, and there’s never a guarantee we’ll be able to produce comb honey. Before they can fill the comb with honey, our bees must first craft the beeswax - an effort that requires a strong honey flow. This season, with its late start, had us wondering if they’d manage, but as always, our little legends have delivered! π€©
These honeycomb squares will be available soon - though it’s a smaller harvest than last year, and only our smaller size. To get first dibs (and maybe even a cheeky discount), be sure to visit our website and subscribe to our newsletter!
We’re back - bring on 2025!
We hope you all had a lovely holiday break and are looking forward to this year as much as we are β¨π
We’re all up to date with orders so if you’re out of honey after the festive season you know where to go π www.branchcreekhoney.co.nz/shop
Signing out π
Time to put the feet up for a few days (you hear that bees? No swarming!) π
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Branch Creek Honey in 2024. We appreciate each and every one of you! We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved this year and can’t wait to see what 2025 brings.
Our website is still open for orders, but we won’t be processing them until January 6th. In the meantime, you can grab your honey fix from one of our amazing stockists - see our website for a list.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ππ

So good to open up a beehive and see lots of this βοΈ
This is brood, which is the next generation of bees! If you look closely in the photo you may even be able to see some larvae and eggs π
The brood nest in a hive is the bottom one or two boxes and is where the Queen Bee is π
Checking on the progress of our hives and adding honey supers (the boxes) to them!
The honey flow is on and the bees are busy! π―
The honey flow is the time when there is the most nectar available to the bees and they are frantically collecting from dawn to dusk. Let’s hope that the flow is strong and the bees will be able to craft us lots of fresh honeycomb squares π€π
