Honey

Raw local honey from our own rescued Melbourne hives — cold-extracted, kept exactly as the bees made it, with only the wax strained out. Each batch is single-origin from one of our South East Melbourne apiaries, so no two taste quite the same. Choose runny raw honey by the apiary, or our smooth traditional creamed honey. Every jar funds the next no-kill bee rescue.

Choose your raw honey

• Raw local honey — runny, single-origin from one apiary, raw and unfiltered. Pick the apiary and no two taste the same.
• Creamed honey — the same raw honey, gently set smooth and spreadable, coaxed rather than forced.

Want it still in the wax? That's raw honeycomb — cut fresh from 100g, or a full frame exactly as it came off the hive.

Why raw honey costs more than a supermarket jar

Because you're paying for everything that stays in it. Cold-extracted and kept raw, so it holds its pollen, its aromatics, and the character of the flowers it came from — the things heat and fine-filtering take out. Single-origin from one apiary, so every batch tastes of one place and one season, never blended down to a uniform product. Rescued hives, kept chemical-free, so what's in the honey is only what the bees put there. That's the difference in the jar, and it's the difference in the price. The full detail, from hive to jar, is on our raw honey standard. In Melbourne you can buy local honey direct — Berwick pickup, or come and find us at the market.
