We've now added a wonderful new range of scented candles. They're in stock and available to you now.
Our physical shop, that was smelling good with all the honey already, now smells extra wonderful. If you're passing Southfields then stop by just to treat your nose.
So what are we doing stocking candles? Well there is a match with our honey theme in that several of them are manuka honey scented candles. And they are quality handcrafted candles from New Zealand, with unique iconic New Zealand scents. For example the fragrance of Pohutukawa, known as the New Zealand christmas tree for its bright red flowers at that time of year. Or kiwifruit, or the fresh forest smells from the Ponga - New Zealand's native silver fern.
There is also some very practical candles we're excited to offer you. The decongestion candle and rub is very unique in that you can first burn it, and allow the eucalyptus, lemon and honey scent to help you congested nose, and then afterwards once it has started to cool you can rub the natural wax on your chest - continuing the decongestion benefits.
Pleasure your nose (or help it if it is blocked). Take a look at these new candles here.

Comvita Olive Leaf Complex here
Although we've actually had it in our physical shop for a while, we're please to say we've now added the Comvita Olive Leaf Complex to The New Zealand Honey Shop website, so that everyone in the UK can order it.
OK, so we admit this is a little concession to Australia, where the olive leaf plantation for this is. And we are a 'New Zealand Honey Shop'. However as we do specialise in the Comvita range, and simple this is a very good product for you, it was an easy choice to add it to our website.
Comvita Olive Leaf Extract is special in that it is made from only fresh olive leaves, picked at dawn each day and quickly processed to retain all their natural goodness. No old dried, drivelled up leaves used here.
The result is an extract that contains more than 30 times the polyphenolic antioxidant activity of an equivalent amount of extra virgin olive oil, and with only natural high levels of oleuropein.
Comvita® Olive Leaf Complex does not contain any olive leaf extract powders or artificially boosted oleuropein products.
If you are wanting to stock up ahead of winter, then we offer you a '6 pack' of 6 x 500ml bottles too.
For those who may not like its taste, it also comes in peppermint flavour.

Honey Bee Hero - help save the bees
You may or may not know that in the past couple of years, around the world but particularly in the USA and Europe, honey bees have been suffering from massive loss in numbers. This is not just about honey, it is a serious problem that could easily affect everyone if not addressed. The bees' work as natural pollinators is still very vital for a lot of the food we all rely on, as well as maintaining the wider diversity of plants on the planet.
While there are some people taking good steps to help where they can in simple things like keeping a variety of flowers in their garden for bees to visit, and more people are starting to keep hives in urban areas, more still needs to be done.
In the UK, an 8 year old is doing their part to try and get British politicians to treat the issue more seriously.
They have set up their own blog, Honey Bee Hero, to gain support to show to their MP (Member of Parliament).
