A massive thank you to Mid West Helicopters NZ for hauling in the hives for this season's Bees & Trees Manuka Honey.

Every year since 2016, these hives get dropped off up the top of the reserve so the bees can forage on the reka putiputi o te ngahere ki Rotokare (the sweet forest flowers at Rotokare). This includes mānuka, kāmahi, rewarewa/ New Zealand honeysuckle, five different species of rātā and lots of other native flora. While their visit will be short and sweet, these bees will work hard to make the signature Bees and Trees smooth, delicious and thick raw honey.

Getting these hives to wear they need to go is hard mahi, so getting a helping hand from the sky is the easiest way to achieve this. The team at Mid West flew the hives up to the top of the steep terrain with ease, and these bees will start their Rotokare foraging.

The roar is now fast approaching as we come to the end of January. We are still taking bookings for Aorangi Awarua Trust, Ruahine, Kaweka Forest parks and there is still space available.
Contrary to other advertising before Christmas – We are still flying into and taking bookings for the Aorangi Awarua Trust land. So give us a call to organise your next hunt in the Aorangi Awarua, Ruahine, Kaweka, or Whanganui National Parks. Stick with the team that has the experience and the know how.
We say farewell to a mighty Kauri that has just fallen – Peter Steedman. He was a great man and made a lot of good things happen and was held in much respect in his community and the hunting community that he organised for many many years. He will be greatly missed.
For bookings, please call Owen 021 900 454.

Most of you will know our pilot Leon Parkes. He has been one of the most loyal and dedicated employees anyone could ask for. Leon has been with Mid West since day 1 and before that gave many years to Aerowork. That's why we are happy to announce that Leon will be flying the AS350 out of our base at Raetihi. Please give Leon a call on 021 900 787

Mid West Helicopters is extremely proud to have been apart of the newly constructed bridge across the Manganui Gorge on Mt Taranaki.
Our Stratford base has played a vital role since the start of the project with lifting in equipment and parts of the bridge as it has progressed.
We’d like to say a big thank you to the guys and girls from Abseil Access, Rock Control and Department of Conservation New Plymouth whom we have worked closely alongside.
Below is a selection of pics and vids from the project.
If you have any projects that need helicopter support, please feel free to contact our local pilots to discuss your needs.
