Arataki Honey Ltd is one of the largest beekeeping operations in the Southern Hemisphere. We currently own and manage more than 20,000 hives of bees, mostly in the HawkeÂ’s Bay and Bay of Plenty. We produce over 1,000 tonnes of honey per year. Our distinctive Arataki brand is sold throughout the local markets of New Zealand and we export under the Honeyland brand.

As with many other beekeeping operations, our family business grew out of something that started as a personal hobby. Following high school graduation, I attended the Farm Short Course at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. After taking a beekeeping class through the UW's Entomology Department, I became fascinated with the wonders of the beekeeping world. I was soon offered a job doing research on honeybees at the UW through the US Department of Agriculture. In 1965 my wife Donna and I started Gentle Breeze Honey on a modest, part-time basis with the purchase of seven hives from a retiring beekeeper. The business was nurtured and sustained for many years with help from our three children, became a full-time endeavor in 1991, and has now grown to approximately 600 hives. Enjoy our delicious honey!
Our unprocessed honey is as pure as nature intended. Without blending or pasteurizing our honey, we have maintained all the bee given nutrients to ensure you are receiving nature's healthiest sweetener.
Established on June 29th, 2009, HMSBeekeeper focuses on local honey, gourmet single source and infused honeys, pollen and propolis, locally made soap, candles, balms, and lotions, as well as exceptional yet economically priced beekeeping equipment. If it is made from the hive, we are likely to carry it.
