At Melita Honey, we have over 10 years of extraction experience. Our extraction facility has the capability to extract up to 30,000 boxes during our session. Every step of the process is documented and tracked. From when you drop off your honey, right the way through until it is drummed off and tested. Each step is entered into our secure in-house honey management software enabling total transparency and accountability to our beekeepers. Your information is kept private and confidential and our goal is to always provide you with the very best service standards.
We have perfected the extraction process and pride ourselves on a level of service, communication and quality.

FAQs
How many days does it take to get paid for my honey?
Why have I been charged for pallets or trays when they are meant to be free for use.
The free for use is only if the items are returned in the same condition. If they are damaged or not returned at all then they are charged to you at the rate outlined in your extraction agreement. These items are to be signed in and out of the facility each time they are removed and returned.
How is my honey tested and how do I know the test is accurate?
All of our testing is undertaken by an independent laboratory (Analytica Labs in Hamilton). A sample of each batch is taken mid flow during drumming and is sent off for analysis. We always take 2 samples, in the case that the first sample is compromised.
What are all of the tests for and how do they affect my honey price?
Testing allows you to be paid fair market value for your honey. Some tests are required by MPI to be able to sell your honey. For more information about your tests please speak to us directly.
