Father’s Day is celebrated on Sunday 7 September 2014 in New Zealand. Tyler and Brynn have been buying father Clayton various items of inventory suitable for bee-keeping as a hobby. Father’s Day present was a pair of elbow-length bee-gloves and a specialised hive tool – used for opening and closing the hive and for scraping stuff and other things.

Arataki Honey is the number one beekeeping business in the Southern Hemisphere, with 20,000 hives across New Zealand.
The business, established in 1944, is run in two parts. The Rotorua Division of Arataki Honey are specialists in Packed Honey, Bulk Honey, Comb Honey, Propolis products & Beeswax, Packaged Bees for export, Queen Bees and Orchard Pollination in the Bay of Plenty.

Honey is healthy and delicious, and there’s no better place to get yours than Arataki. From hive to honey pot, every step of the way, quality and traceability are keys to making New Zealand’s finest honeys. People and Bees are at the heart of Arataki Honey.
