About Us
Honey from our hives to your table
Our Story
KiwiCoast Apiaries began back in the late 1980’s after owners Mark and Sheree Silson discovered a love of bees and beekeeping. Mark had been gifted two hives 15 years before, and with Sheree’s management and admin assistance was able to turn a hobby into a successful business selling their liquid gold.
What began as a handful of hives supplying bees to local Bay of Plenty kiwifruit orchards has grown into a substantial, but still family owned, operation of hundreds of hives that still supply the local kiwifruit orchards, but also avocado growers and their own delicious honey production that is now available for you to enjoy at home as Kiwicoast Honey.
They’ve faced their share of set backs along the way, including when a devastating fire destroyed their storage and handling facility in 2002. However, KiwiCoast were able to rise from the ashes and rebuild – you’ll taste their love for the honey and resilience against the odds in every spoonful!
