FAQ
What is MGO and why does it matter?
MGO is short for methylglyoxal, the compound behind mānuka honey's antibacterial properties. The higher the number, the stronger the honey. Hummbee comes in MGO 500+, 800+ and 1000+, so you can pick the strength that suits you.
What is the difference between BUZZ, VIBE and PULSE?
BUZZ MGO 500+ is made for everyday wellness and energy. VIBE MGO 800+ is for focus and immune support. PULSE MGO 1000+ is our strongest, for deep restoration and committed mānuka users.
Is Hummbee honey certified?
Yes. Every batch is independently tested and certified as monofloral mānuka honey under New Zealand's MPI standards, with a certificate of analysis from Hill Laboratories.
Can mānuka honey treat or cure health conditions?
Hummbee is real food, not medicine. It isn't intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If you have a health concern, talk to your doctor. Hummbee is a daily ritual, not a prescription.
How should I take mānuka honey?
The easiest way is a teaspoon straight from the jar, ideally in the morning before you eat. You can also stir it into warm tea or add it to breakfast. Keep it out of boiling water, because high heat reduces its properties.
How should I store my honey?
Keep it at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. It doesn't need to go in the fridge.
How long does a jar last?
Each 275g jar is best before four years from the date it was made. Once opened, finish it within 12 months for the best results.
Do you ship internationally?
No, we only ship within New Zealand.
What is your return policy?
