Our honey is from Eastern Australia, produced by beekeepers who use superior quality control standards. We do not believe in saying honey is "organic", since it forms crystals it simply cannot be. It is produced so there will be no contamination so that it is perfect when it arrives on your table.

Our Honey Is Quality Checked and Assured

Batch samples are kept for each lot packed, and our testing laboratory QSI - Bremen Germany, is the worlds most authoritative, and highly regarded. Our production is done without unnecessary heating, stored quickly without prolonged exposure to air to preserve natural aromatic qualities, and kept as varietal honey without being blended. Annual production is usually several thousand tonnes, and it sells very quickly, so reserves are often as low as a few hundred tonnes.

The varieties are a result of migratory beekeeping. This means that large numbers of colonies are moved by truck to locations where particular trees or plants are about to flower. Bees collect honey from only one species of flower on every foraging trip they make, and we select sites so that one particular species dominates the crop at that time.

Unlike honey production in other countries, our honey is not blended., either by the bees collecting from numerous species of plants, or by us mixing several lots together. Just as people understand that wine is more interesting as a varietal product of particular grapes, it is good to enjoy honey as the essence of the flowers and blossoms of the landscape.

As fast as the hives fill up with honey, new boxes are added to hives and full boxes are removed so that the honey can be extracted centrifugally at a central extracting plant. The bees are then lifted back onto the trucks and moved on to the next region where flowers or blossoms are nearly ready. We never collect honey from any areas that may be affected by chemicals for crops.
