Pitcairn Island Honey

In May 1988, the UK Government aid agency, the Department for International Development, funded an apiculture program for Pitcairn which included training for Pitcairn's bee keepers and a detailed analysis of the disease status of Pitcairn bees and honey. The aim is to enable Pitcairn to export honey products to New Zealand and beyond. The results were better than they could have hoped for. Pitcairn has one of the most disease free bee populations of anywhere in the world and the honey produced is of an exceptional high quality.

The rich and intense fruitiness of Pitcairn's honey is attributed to the nectar from the mango, lata, passion flower, guava and roseapple flower found in abundance on Pitcairn.
