Our story

In 1916, beekeeper Horace Bush realised Marlborough lush pastures produced some of the world's finest honey. Hives are sited from the Marlborough Sounds to well up into the South Island high country. Including hives on New Zealand largest Station, Molesworth.

This legacy was passed down to son of Horace, John Bush. He has worked in the business for most of his life and didn’t stop “throwing boxes” until he was 76 years old. At age 92, he continued to work delivering honey to shops.

In 1991, Murray the son of John Bush returned home and joined his brother Peter and father to work side by side for 32 years. Over the years the Bush family has created honey labels boasting blue borage, mānuka, clover and honey dew.

After three generations of the Bush family and 107 years they have passed on the legacy to another young family who will continue to produce some of best honey and kept this truly unique business running.
