Honey Dew is produced by honeybees collecting nectar that is exuded from another insect such as an aphid or scale insect. In this instance Nothofagus solandri var. solandri South Island Black and Nothofagus fusca Red Beech trees, named Tawhai by Maori. Both are inhabited by two species of honeydew insect which produce a flow of dark, aromatic sap that is collected by honeybees. This Honey Dew is a rich, flavoursome honey that doesn’t crystallize. |
