Chemical-free · rescued hives · Melbourne

The BeesFriend shop

Honey, beeswax, pollen and skincare from our own rescued, chemical-free colonies around South East Melbourne — and every purchase funds the next rescue.

Award-winning. First prizes for honey, naturally granulated honey and beeswax across Victorian shows, 2024–25.

Honey & the hive

Raw honey, creamed honey, comb and propolis — straight from our welfare-first colonies, cold-extracted and unfiltered.

Our honey is single-origin — each batch comes from one named apiary, not blended from everywhere. See where each region comes from across South East Melbourne.

Bee pollen

Raw pollen the bees gather in spring, fresh or dried — from the same rescued, chemical-free hives. Seasonal: collected in spring and sold until it runs out. What it is, and who shouldn’t take it.

Beeswax & candles

Pure, chemical-free beeswax for your own craft, plus hand-dipped taper candles and tea lights that burn clean with a soft honey scent.

Skincare

Natural, naturopath-formulated skincare from the Octocosmetics range.
