HANDS ON LEARNING
Bee Friends Programme

As part of this environmental work Tahi is delighted to introduce to you our Bee Friends programme. This initiative sees us partner with local schools to educate and raise awareness of the importance of bees and beekeeping to students. We have been running this programme for 2 years and currently have beehives in 4 primary schools in the Whangarei area. Tahi would now like to offer this programme to other schools that may wish to incorporate it into their curriculum. Click below to download our information booklet for 2020/2021

Tahi NZ is a privately-owned nature reserve and Mānuka honey producer based in Pataua North. Tahi covers 315 hectares of award winning replanted and regenerating native forest, reintroduced wetland areas, and a vast network of walking tracks and pathways. We have over 3,000 beehives located around the Whangarei district that are serviced by a team of dedicated beekeepers. We process our own honey in a purpose-built honey extraction and jarring facility at Tahi; it is then sold nationally and exported to over 23 countries globally.
Tahi are extremely proud to have won awards for our environmental work, wetland conservation and dune restoration at the Tahi property. In 2018 we were a highly commended finalist for the Restoring Nature category of the NZ Sustainable Business Network awards. We want to share our passion and knowledge with the next generation.
