The queen will only mate once. Shortly after birth, the queen goes on a ‘nuptial’ mating flight. She hovers in the air attracting drones (male bees) to a drone congregating area. She will then mate with 10-20 different drones. During this process the drones that mate with the queen will die as their appendage is ripped form their body during the process. Egg-laying However there can be no doubt it does come with some health benefits. Honey has been used for healing for at least 8,000 years . Its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties are best found in honey that hasn’t been heated too much (such as raw honeys). The mānuka tree flowers at the same time as Kunzea ericoides, another Myrtaceae species also called kānuka, which often shares the same growing areas. Some apiarists cannot readily differentiate these species, as both flowers have similar morphology and pollen differentiation between the two species is difficult.

We are not in a position to comment on, or respond to the ongoing deliberations on manuka standards until they are released, other than obviously we will comply with any regulatory requirements as they pertain to our products.” Honey adds another flavour dimension to sweet dishes. You could use it to replace a sugar-glaze on a yoghurt cake , or make it part of the syrup in a fruit salad. In honey cakes and bakes, it combines well with light brown sugar. Keep the temperature lower (about 25°C) than usual though because honey burns more easily than sugar.

The grading system for New Zealand Manuka honey is very complex and several different systems can be used such as UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor), which is considered the strictest and highest graded Manuka Honey measurement system. Humans, insects and plants rely on each other to survive and thrive. Bees gather nectar from some two million flowers to make a single 450g/1lb pot of honey, each one making about one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in a lifetime. Four-fifths of the world’s plants rely on pollination to reproduce, and at least one-third of the world’s food crops. We need bees – all types, not only honeybees – to buzz through the air and stitch together the fabric of the living world. One tip from Moroccan kitchens is to add a little honey to cooked tomatoes, for example in a sauce or a tagine , to balance and enhance their sweet-sourness. Once the eggs in queen cups hatch, the larvae are fed a specialised diet until they reach maturity. At first, they are fed royal jelly, which is a fluid secreted from the glands of nurse bees. Although larvae of worker bees are fed royal jelly, larvae of future queens are fed a significant amount, allowing their reproductive organs to develop fully. In the final two days of the larval stage, the queens are also fed honey, which includes hormones that help the body develop further. How the Queen Mates MGO (Methylglyoxal) is a naturally-occurring compound found in Manuka honey that gives it its unique antibacterial properties.
