      ....The Manuka honey that I get is not watery or runny at all. It is actually quite thick and is not clear but rather opaque. .....



      Same as those that we bought in NZ.

      Yummi claims their is better because their honey are from the wild, not from farm bee. Personally, I do not agree to this claim.

      It is not about the bees but more the plants that the bees gather the nectar and pollen from.

      The Manuka plant is indegenous to NZ and and some parts of Australia. NZ remains the larger producer and exporter of Manuka honey but Australia does produce some as well.

      You will see some US brand Manuka Honey but they import from NZ and put their own brand on it.

      The other product that I will recommend is the Manuka propolis spray, wonderful for sore throats and ulcers as well. But must test for allergies first as these contain pollens.

          So Yummi wild honey is different from manuka honey?

          Is it because it does not have healing effect?
          Am confused…

            Some sales promoters are really terrible…in order to sell their brand, they put down the others. There are MANY brands of Manuka honey from NZ.


            Presently, HNZ has promotion at Guardian Pharmacy. UMF 15 2 containers (250g each) for $55. I didn’t get as I already bought a bottle of 1kg in July as there was 20% discount.

Along with 3 cartons of jumbo golden kiwis which they do not export, kiwis the size of the length of my wrist to the tip of my middle finger.

                  Funz,

                  The kiwis you brought back is the best and most natural Vitamin C. Yummy !!! After my kids took gold kiwi, they refused to eat the green ones. A kiwi a day is the amt of Vitamin C for the day.

                  Superbee Manuka is sold at Takashimaya right ? The sales promoter told me it costs $200+ for 1kg of HNZ UMF 20 now. :shock: At one time, UMF 25 was out of stock as there was a fire in NZ and as such there wasn't this number available.

                      Superbee Honey?


                      They are Australian… went their ‘farm’ the year before.

                      Superbee is also available in Giant Turf City. I think they have a promo now… Not sure if you are able to order online or not though…
