  New Zealand's Great Barrier Island ("The Barrier") is located about 100 kilometers (62 miles) north-east of central Auckland, in the outer Hauraki Gulf. It is now inhabited by a population of 852 people supported by farming and tourism. Most of the island is a nature preserve administered by the New Zealand Department of Conservation. The island received its name from Captain Cook because it acts as a barrier between the Pacific Ocean and the Hauraki Gulf. The island is proudly the home of the first commercial bee keeping activities in New Zealand, established through the introduction of bees around 1880. With the island covered in an abundance of native Manuka Trees and little else, the early pioneers were quick to recognize the potential of producing pure Manuka Honey and understanding the health and wellbeing benefits it offered. This long history of beekeeping is documented at the Great Barrier Island Honey Museum. This local manuka honey is the starting point of the Great Barrier Island Bee Company collection. In addition to pure Barrier Island manuka honey, this line contains highly beneficial products such as sweet almond oil, beeswax, shea butter, propolis, and royal jelly. Products contain no parabens or synthetic colors and they are only tested on local Great island humans! See our collection of Great Barrier Island Manuka products
