Marcel’s passion is in Beekeeping and takes great lengths to look after his bees to ensure the very best in delicious honey.

Even sweeter, the Hospice Honey is specially crafted from the clover fields in Southland to ensure the end customer gets the very best possible product … consistent­ly.

‘‘Making the community a happier place is a goal we should all strive for,’’ Marcel says.

‘‘My ambition is to become a commercial beekeeper that produces a quality product time after time, while at the same time making the community a better place.

‘‘I believe that every terminally ill person in need of palliative care should have the support and access they need.

‘‘To fulfil my mission, I have decided to combine two elements: a passion for bees and a love for Hospice.

‘‘We never know when we may need Hospice in our lives so I’ve decided to start giving back now.’’
