Collaborate With Be Local
We exist to gift the experience of giving, sharing, and enjoying local honey and artisan foods — with every jar, hamper, and gift telling the story of place, people, and purpose.
At Be Local, we’re more than just beekeepers. We’re storytellers of region, stewards of sustainability, and champions of the people, bees and land behind each jar. We partner with businesses who want to share something special — something authentic — with their customers.
Retail Stores & Gift Shops
Offer your customers a truly local product that’s more than a souvenir — it’s a story in a jar.
We supply premium small-batch honey and honey-based gifts that celebrate your region. We also equip your team with training and education so they can speak confidently about our beekeepers, locations, and seasonal flavours.
Add value to your shelves with a product your customers will taste, remember, and return for.
Experience-Based Businesses
Your customers aren’t buying a product — they’re buying a memory.
Whether you run a high-country lodge, farm-to-table eatery, eco-tour, or winery, we can co-brand our honey to reflect your story and your place. Every jar becomes a tangible part of your guests' journey. This jar of honey on their shelf at home will product great memories for months to come.
Examples include:
- Mrs Woolly’s General Store, Glenorchy
- Ayrburn, Queenstown
Let your guests take home more than memories — let them take home a flavour of their experience.
Gifting, Hampers & Personalised Branding
Whether you're a brand, a corporate gifter, or a hamper company, we help you make it personal.
We offer custom-labelled jars, gift sets, and locally sourced artisan products that reflect your message and values. Just upload your logo or message and we’ll handle the rest.
Make your gifts unforgettable with products that speak of place and meaning
Hotels, Restaurants & Lodges
Enhance your customers’ experience with bees, biodiversity, and beautiful flavours they’ll remember. From honey at the buffet to bespoke mini jars in-room, or even hives on your property, we help you showcase sustainability and local pride.
As the proud provider of our premium honey to New Zealand’s and the world’s award-winning restaurant Amisfield, we bring that same exceptional quality to your business. Our honey enhances menus, tells a story, and sparks conversation. Bring the region to your table — and your guests will taste the difference.
