About Honey Wallet™
A more predictable way to plan around your honey crop
Honey Wallet™ was formed by NZ Honey Supply to give New Zealand beekeepers a dependable route from harvest to payment.
We understand that finding a buyer, arranging testing and storage, and waiting for a sale can make it difficult to plan ahead. Honey Wallet brings these parts together in one supplier partnership: we assess your crop, agree its value with you, manage accepted honey, and pay you on an agreed schedule.
The programme also helps NZ Honey Supply build reliable, long-term relationships with beekeepers and secure the honey needed to serve our customers.
How Honey Wallet™ works
1. Register your interest
Tell us where your apiary is, the type and estimated volume of honey you expect to supply, and when it will be ready. We’ll contact you to discuss your crop and the programme.
2. Test and assess your honey
For honey being considered for Honey Wallet, NZ Honey Supply arranges the required testing and grading. This may include UMF, MGO and other quality assessments, where applicable. NZ Honey Supply covers the agreed testing costs.
3. Agree your crop value
Once the assessment is complete, we’ll provide a proposed purchase value based on the agreed grade and current market conditions. You’ll know the value before deciding whether to enter the programme.
4. Deliver and store your accepted honey
If you agree to proceed, we’ll confirm the arrangement in writing and organise delivery and storage. NZ Honey Supply covers the agreed storage costs and manages the honey’s inventory and sale.
Honey accepted into the programme is supplied exclusively to NZ Honey Supply under the agreed terms.
5. Receive regular payments
The agreed crop value is allocated to your Honey Wallet account and paid out on the schedule agreed with you—weekly, fortnightly or monthly. The payment term is confirmed in writing and can be up to 24 months. If the honey sells earlier, NZ Honey Supply may accelerate the final settlement.

New Zealand beekeepers with honey available, or an upcoming crop, can register their interest. NZ Honey Supply will discuss your crop and whether it may suit the programme.

Who can enquire?
Honey is considered individually. Share the honey type, region, estimated volume and harvest timing so NZ Honey Supply can assess whether it may be suitable.

What types of honey can I supply?
NZ Honey Supply arranges testing and grading, which may include UMF, MGO and other quality assessments where required. After assessment, we propose a crop value based on the agreed grade and market conditions. The value is agreed with you before your honey is accepted into the programme.
How is my honey assessed and valued?
