Frequently asked questions
General
Yes! Our honey is 100% pure, natural, and unblended – straight from the hives of our 5th generation beekeeping family in Western Australia. No additives, never overheated or over filtered, just real honey from real beekeepers.
We offer a range of 7 unique Western Australian honeys including Jarrah, Red Gum, White Gum, Blackbutt, and seasonal varieties. Each has its own flavour, colour, and benefits.
Honey doesn’t spoil, but we include a “Use By” date of 2 years from bottling to guarantee peak quality. Store in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh.
Crystallisation is a natural process and a sign of pure honey. To return it to liquid, gently warm the jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water or sit out in the sun.
The short answer, yes! We lightly strain our honey to remove debris like wax and slightly warm to manipulate the honey to jar however, we never heat honey higher than the natural temperature of a hive to keeping the enzymes, nutrients, and pollen intact. A hive temperature can range between 33 and 36 degrees celsius.
We currently only ship Australia-wide and are working on expanding to selected international markets. Stay tuned or contact us for updates.
Yes – our containers are made from PET 1 plastic (♳) which is 100% recyclable and our packaging is also recyclable and compostable.
Yes! We’re stocked in select local stores. Check our Stockists page to see where you can pick up your honey.

Yes, we lab-test selected honeys like Jarrah and Blackbutt for TA (Total Activity), which measures the honey’s natural antimicrobial strength. A higher TA means stronger antibacterial properties, making it ideal for gut health, skin, and immune support.
We label our high-activity honeys as TA35+ because that’s currently the highest level recognised under Australian industry labelling standards. Even though some of our batches may test above TA35, we keep the label consistent to meet regulations and avoid misleading claims.
This ensures transparency and trust — when we say TA35+, you can be confident the honey has exceptional antimicrobial strength, ideal for immune support, gut health, and wound care. Every batch is independently lab tested, and we’re proud to offer some of the most potent medicinal honeys in the world.
Honey with a TA of 10+ or higher is considered active. Our Jarrah honey often tests above TA 35+, placing it among the most powerful medicinal-grade honeys in the world.
Monofloral honey is made mostly from the nectar of one plant species. It has a unique taste, colour, and consistency, and often comes with specific health benefits depending on the tree source.
Both Jarrah and Manuka honey are prized for their natural medicinal properties, but they’re measured differently:
Jarrah honey (from Western Australia) is tested using TA (Total Activity), which measures both peroxide and non-peroxide antibacterial strength.
Manuka honey (from NZ and parts of Australia) is tested using UMF or MGO, which measures only non-peroxide activity.
Jarrah honey is:
High in antioxidants
Lower in GI (gentler on blood sugar)
Smooth and less bitter
Rarely crystallises
Often tests at TA35+, comparable to high-grade Manuka
If you're after a daily super-honey that tastes amazing and offers strong health benefits, Jarrah is hard to beat.
Honey has a lower Glycaemic Index (GI) than refined sugar, especially varieties like Jarrah. While it’s still a sugar, some people with diabetes choose natural honey in moderation as a natural sweetener. Always speak to your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
Yes, high TA honeys like Jarrah and Blackbutt have natural antibacterial and healing properties. They can help cleanse wounds, reduce inflammation, and promote healing – just ensure the honey is medicinal-grade and sterile if applying directly to skin.
Absolutely. Honey has long been used to soothe sore throats and support the immune system. Its antimicrobial properties and thick texture help coat the throat and reduce irritation.
No. It’s not safe to give honey to children under 12 months due to the rare risk of infant botulism. After 1 year of age, honey is safe and nutritious for kids.
WA honey is unique thanks to our ancient native forests, clean environment, and strict biosecurity laws (we're one of the only places in the world free from pests like varroa mite). Our trees produce rare monofloral honeys like Jarrah, Blackbutt, and Red Gum, which are high in antioxidants and active compounds.
Honey is a complex natural substance made by bees from flower nectar. Its chemical makeup includes:
Natural sugars (~80%) – mostly fructose and glucose
Water (~17–18%)
Vitamins & minerals – like B vitamins, calcium, potassium, and iron
Antioxidants – such as flavonoids and phenolic acids
Enzymes – like glucose oxidase and diastase, added by bees
Amino acids, organic acids, and pollen particles
This unique mix gives honey its natural sweetness, healing properties, and long shelf life.
Yes — using a metal spoon won’t damage honey’s health benefits or enzymes.
There’s a common myth that metal reacts with honey and “kills” its enzymes or medicinal properties. The truth is, brief contact with clean stainless steel or other metal utensils is completely safe and won’t affect the honey’s quality.
The enzymes and antioxidants in raw honey are sensitive to heat and long-term storage in unsuitable containers, not quick contact with metal spoons.
For peace of mind, you can use wooden, ceramic, or plastic spoons — but if you're just scooping honey into your tea or onto toast, a regular metal spoon is absolutely fine.
