Hantz Honeydew Honey

Honeydew is a sugar-rich, sticky liquid secreted by aphids and some scale insects as they feed on plant sap, in this case, the New Zealand native black beech tree. It is collected from the tree by the bees who carry it back to the beehive where the honeydew is stored in frames. Our honeydew is primarily produced from the sap of the beech trees growing in the North Canterbury area. Honeydew does not crystalize like floral honey.

This lovely honey can be used as a spread or drizzled over fresh fruit or cereal.
