Little Hands Honey

22/08/2026

You’ve been asking us for such a long time to make our beeswax candles again… so today, we finally poured a new batch. 🐝

Each candle is hand poured in small batches using our pure NZ beeswax. They are naturally golden, beautifully detailed and each one is slightly different.

This is a trial batch, so they won’t be available online. You’ll only find them at the Pāpāmoa Community Market this Sunday.

If you love them, we’ll keep making them and may bring back more designs.

Scroll through the photos and tell us which one you like best. The little owl, the Egyptian pyramid, one of the feathers, or perhaps the huge 860 g statement candle?

📍 Pāpāmoa Community Market
Te Manawa ō Pāpāmoa School
72 Te Okuroa Drive
Sunday, 8.30 am to 1.00 pm

Small batch only, so come and see them in person while they’re available.

For almost a year now, we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Flowerday Homes here in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.

If you’ve recently moved into one of their brand-new homes, or you’re due to move in before the end of the year, you may find a familiar jar inside your welcome-home hamper. 🍯

Each hamper includes either our award-winning Tāwari Honey or our Vanilla Infused Tāwari Honey as part of the lovely welcome Flowerday Homes gives its new homeowners.

What makes it even nicer is that the hamper celebrates more than one local business. You’ll also find beautiful products from our friends at Nana Dunn and other local favourites.

A new home filled with a few special tastes from the Bay of Plenty. We think that’s a pretty lovely way to say, “Welcome home.”

Well… our best seller just got some serious bragging rights. 🍯

Thank you so much for all the lovely messages congratulating Virgil on his Supreme Taste win. We really weren’t expecting it!

But did you know the Tāwari honey that won Supreme Taste at the Golden Box Awards is the same honey we use to make our bestselling Vanilla Honey?

We infuse it with real gourmet Bourbon vanilla beans. No vanilla flavouring, just the real thing slowly infusing into some seriously beautiful honey.

And, as always, we bottle our honey in glass. We’re quite particular about that. 😊

Supreme Taste Tāwari + real Bourbon vanilla beans.

Perhaps there’s a very good reason this one has been our best seller for so long.

If you haven’t tried it yet, this might be the perfect excuse. 🍯

Available online at www.littlehandshoney.co.nz⁠ & every Sunday at Papamoa Community Market

There’s one member of our family you’ve probably seen the least…

While many of you know Little Hands Honey through our kids, market days, and social media, there’s someone who has always preferred to stay behind the scenes.

Virgil.

He’s the beekeeper.

The one who spends countless hours looking after the hives, following the seasons, and making sure every jar of honey is something we’re proud to put our name on.

He’s been keeping bees since he was just 14 years old.

Last week, all those years of quiet dedication were recognised in the most unexpected way.

Virgil was awarded the Supreme Taste Award at the 2025/2026 Golden Box Awards.

To receive recognition for the best tasting honey is something we never expected, and we’re incredibly proud.

This isn’t just Virgil’s award.

It’s a reminder that behind every jar of Little Hands Honey is years of experience, patience, and a genuine love for beekeeping.

To everyone who has supported our little family business, thank you.

This award belongs to all of us.

Two local businesses, one pretty special jar 🍯

Our raw Little Hands Honey is now being used by Nana Dunn & Co in their ACV + Honey Pickled Onions.

Their family recipe dates back to 1935, and there is something really special about seeing a recipe with that much history now include honey from our little family business.

Local makers choosing local ingredients.
Family businesses backing each other.
Products made with care, story, and real people behind them.

Nana Dunn & Co have built something beautiful with their pickled onions, and we are so proud to have our honey included in one of their recipes.

You can find their pickled onions in local gourmet shops and now at Farro too.

Two local businesses. One shared belief. Good food starts with good ingredients.

A little warmth for winter 🍯🐝

It’s the 1st of July, the middle of the colder season here in New Zealand, and honestly this is when honey feels extra special.

In our house, honey means warm lemon drinks, toast in the morning, baking with the kids, and that little spoonful of goodness when winter starts to bite.

Little Hands Honey is our family honey, raw and unpasteurised, made with care from our family to yours.

Our Manuka honey is currently on special online for $25, so it’s a beautiful time to stock up or send a jar to someone who needs a little winter warmth.

Shop online here:

www.littlehandshoney.co.nz

You can also find us every Sunday at Pāpāmoa Community Market, 8:30am to 1:00pm.

Afterpay is available online, and we are very proud wearers of the NZ Made logo.

Thank you for supporting our little family business. Every jar means so much more than you know.

With love,
Carmen, Virgil, Victoria, Stefan and our busy bees 🐝

Our honey is raw, pure and made in New Zealand, including our affordable Manuka honey. We also sell beeswax products and beeswax candles online.
