When you purchase our raw, 100% natural honey straight from our hives, you are getting a high-quality, nutritious and delicious product that is good for both you and the environment. HoneyBee Hives honey is created by our bees from the nectar of local flowers, so each honey extraction provides a unique flavour that is a combination of flowers that were blooming at that time.
Did you know that honey is a super-power food, packed with medicinal goodness and is a much healthier choice than processed sugars?
Our honey is never heated, filtered or processed in any way, so it retains all of its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and other beneficial properties. This means that you get the full range of health benefits that honey has to offer, such as helping to boost the immune system, reducing inflammation, and promoting gut health.
Our honey is also a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice, as it supports the local ecosystem and promotes biodiversity by providing a valuable food source for bees and other pollinators.
We take great care in maintaining our hives and protecting the bees, so you can feel good about supporting a responsible and ethical business.
Additionally, purchasing our honey directly from the hives ensures that you are getting a truly authentic and healthy product, with a unique taste and texture that you won’t find in supermarket honey.
Treat yourself and your loved ones to the taste of pure, natural honey directly from our apiary to you.
Please note that we are unable to send honey or honeycomb products to Western Australia or Tasmania due to biosecurity restrictions.
