Honey lovers and those who are health conscious rejoice! There is a new product on the market that offers numerous health benefits, tastes delicious – and is based right here in the Waikato.

SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd. is a family owned and operated New Zealand beekeeping company who specialise in the production of high activity UMF 16+ Manuka Honey.

SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd.  UMF 16+ Manuka Honey is 100% pure New Zealand honey, containing no additives, and offers numerous health and lifestyle benefits. Supporting the body’s natural healing process, SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd. UMF 16+ Manuka Honey enhances a person’s general health and wellbeing, assists in the healing of minor wounds and ulcers, and supports the body’s digestive health.

What sets SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd. UMF 16+ Manuka Honey apart from other types of honey is it contains a unique property, Non Peroxide Activity (NPA). NPA is a unique antibacterial activity not found in any other variety of honey and is present in all UMF 16+ Manuka Honey produced by SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd.

UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is a quality trademark identifying natural unadulterated manuka honey that has the special and unique NPA. The 16+ rating given to the honey produced by SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd. means it contains superior levels of NPA, guaranteeing you are buying the ‘real thing’.

The foundations for SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd. were established in 1976 when husband and wife team, Bill and Margaret Bennett, began beekeeping. The company, as it is seen today, was then established in the early 1990’s. With nearly 40 years’ experience in the business, Bill and Margaret have over 1200 hives located in the greater Waikato region and export their SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd. UMF 16+ Manuka Honey to countries worldwide, including the U.K., Japan, the U.S.A., Singapore, China and Australia.

SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd. was the first company to establish the difference between regular manuka honey and manuka honey containing NPA. They were also the first to bring manuka honey to the Internet, allowing consumers to purchase it online. 

SummerGlow Apiaries Ltd. has now welcomed the second generation into the company, through the likes of son, Alan Bennett and son-in-law, James Jeffery. Both Alan and James are dedicated to the on-going development and maintenance of the company for future generations.
