Beekeepers Hoard – Local handmade & unprocessed Australia bush honey

West Australian
Pure, Natural, Unprocessed
Straya Bush Honey

As a second generation beekeeper, most my life has been based around bees and the bush. I enjoy the lifestyle that beekeeping provides me and I love the pristine places that I get to call my office, the views are absolutely breathtaking. As a honey admirer,
I always look forward to tasting the new honey’s as they come in.

I have an impressive number of apiary sites which means my bees can source nectar from a range of different floral species. Having these sites allows me give you the opportunity to taste unique quality honies from the pristine West Australian bush, from the bee to you.

The Processes

I enjoy making a variety of different honey, I migrate the bees at the end of a honey flow as long as another flow is not starting soon. The bees are loaded onto the truck and I drive through the night to take the bees to the next location.
While the bees are on location the health of the bees is regularly monitored while also gauging the bees food sources. I do not artificially feed my bees so I have to be precise and I can’t be greedy with the amount of honey that I take off.
When taking off the honey I use the Clearer Board System so the bee does not get stressed. I find this system works best for me as well as the bees, although there is a fair bit more travel time involved.
The honey boxes are then bought back to the extracting plant. Once extracted the empty boxes are then taken to put back onto the hives. The honey is stored and labelled until packaged and then sold directly through my market stall or online.

The honey is not filtered or heated to preserve all the natural pollens vitamins and enzymes. Certain honey is chosen for testing where a sample is sent to a laboratory. Here the honey is tested for its Total Activity level (Antibiotic Activity against S. aureus) and the Antioxidant activity can also be tested. The tested honey is stored and labelled until packaged and then sold directly through my market stall or online.
