QHow many hives do you have and how many litres of honey do you produce a year? We run 450 hives, including 350 around Lawrence and the Catlins, and 100 in partnership with Robbie and Julia McIlraith on Mount Parker Station in the Waitaki Valley. We sell honey under our Tuapeka Honey brand and will be launching our new Mount Parker brand soon. Depending on the season, we range from five tonnes to 20 tonnes but average between 12 to 15 tonnes. For our Mount Parker honey we extract at Waitaki Honey in Kurow and it is then packed by Sheehan Apiaries in Leeston.
