At Waitahanui Apiaries, we’ve always believed honey is more than a sweet treat – it’s nature’s healer. Backed by science and crafted by bees in the heart of New Zealand, our honey delivers benefits that go far beyond flavour.
The Science Behind the Sweetness
Our recent laboratory tests revealed exceptionally high levels of 3-Phenyllactic Acid (3-PLA) and Methylglyoxal (MGO). While the names sound technical, here’s why they matter: – 3-PLA works hand-in-hand with MGO (the compound that gives Manuka honey its antibacterial power) to boost natural protection.- Our honey’s 3-PLA levels were measured at an outstanding 564 mg/kg – well above average. This means every spoonful of Waitahanui Apiaries honey carries enhanced antibacterial and healing qualities.
Honey as Nature’s Bandage
Manuka honey has long been trusted for healing wounds, burns, and ulcers. What makes it so effective? – Cleansing Effect: Honey draws out excess fluid, loosening dead tissue and creating a clean surface for healing.- Bacteria Defence: High MGO and 3-PLA levels make it tough for bacteria to survive.- Real Results: From animal care to human recovery, Waitahanui Apiaries honey has shown remarkable outcomes.
Bee Intelligence: Nature’s Navigators
The magic starts with the bees. Using a “symbolic dance,” they share directions to nectar sources with their hive, showing us just how intelligent and coordinated they are. This natural teamwork results in honey that captures the very best of New Zealand’s landscapes
