Mānuka Honey is a premium honey produced by bees that collect nectar from the flowers of the Mānuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium), a plant native to New Zealand. Unlike many conventional honeys that are produced from a variety of flowering plants, Authentic Mānuka Honey can be independently tested and certified to verify its authenticity and quality. The Mānuka bush blooms for only a few weeks each year, making the harvest season short and the honey naturally limited in supply.
