top bar honey

If you're a honey lover, then you'll love this. Top Bar Honey, dubbed the 'world's bee friendliest honey', do their utmost to ensure that their product (and their process) are chemical free and ethically managed. As a result, their small batches of golden nectar are very limited – each jar is individually named and numbered, including a QR Code link to a clip of your honey being harvested right here in New Zealand. While the honey comes with a wooden honey dipper and tasting notes from a professional winemaker, my favourite part of the gift is the necklace.

Each jar of honey comes with a  hand blown glass vial necklace containing the amount of honey one female worker bee makes in her lifetime. How gorgeous and fascinating is that? Plus, some of the funds from every purchase goes to the Save Our Bees Charitable Trust. It's pretty pricey (which is fair enough), but I had a hunt around and found it at the Green Urban Living store. I love products which are full of heart with a real personal touch, and this honey definitely fits in that group.
