Beekeeping

Kia tuupato kei werohia koe e te honi

In 2017 our whaanau at Poohara committed to beekeeping training and apiary development on our lands. This is a first for the iwi, our own beekeepers fully accredited and owning and operating small apriary sites to be developed over the next 2 years.

Working with Others

We are always looking to engage, share and learn with other Iwi and whaanau beekeepers, researchers, practitioners, knowledge holders, scientist and business leaders. Recently MDLP hosted a Maanuka and Land Utilisation Waananga that brought together a range of experts in beekeeping, maanuka farming and business enterprise. Other community and whaanau have been and will continue to be engaged to support the co-construction and development aspirations for our beekeepers as they progress in the industry.
