Rēkohu / the Chatham Islands is in a unique position for producing honey, as it is one of the few places in the world that is free of many of the diseases that affect bees.

It's an opportunity that Go Wild Apiary has taken advantage of, creating a range of Tarahina Honey products with some of the healthiest bees in the world.

 The founder of Go Wild Apiary, Kaai Silbery, is also an award winning chef. She's developed an entirely new product; freeze dried honey, which she describes as like candyfloss, or a honey cloud.
