Discover more about honey, meet the bees that make it, taste test and find your favourite, purchase gifts and souvenirs, all at our interactive, modern Arataki Honey Visitor Centre.

Be a Bee!

Learn about honey making, dress up as a beekeeper, see through the eyes of a bee. Whether visiting as an individual or a family, or as part of a group, there’s plenty to explore, lots to do and entry is free.

For school groups this is a great way to introduce the importance of bees to our valuable land-based industries and environment.

Group tours will find something for everyone at Arataki.

Honey is our focus and at our Visitor Centre we have ten distinct and delicious flavours to try. From candles to crayons beeswax is useful and versatile and you can find out all about it at our Visitor Centre. Other bee products include propolis, pollen and royal jelly, all key ingredients in our health and beauty products.

We are suppliers of: Apicare Body Products, Madeline Richie Skin Care Range, Comvita Health Care, Parrs Body Products, Tui Balms, Busy Bees, Heavensent Sauces & Dressings.
