Australia. Miel cruda de Melbourne y alrededores

Mieles principalmente de eucaliptus o de árbol del te, producidas lejos de regiones con  contaminación

Raw Honey from Melbourne Australia and the region nearby

For honey from other regions or for alternatives please see our Beekeeper Network.

In order to produce pristine honey we are aiming to keep our honey-producing beehives at least three kilometres away from areas that might be affected by the use of chemicals, i.e. away from orchards, nurseries, crop farming, industrial sites and rubbish tips; that's why we consider our honey as organic honey.

Throughout the year our beehives are getting relocated to different locations within Victoria, following the flowers and enabling our bees to collect nectar from a variety of flowering plants, mainly Eucalyptus trees and Tea Tree and produce a variety of raw honey with different colours and flavours. 

Honey gets commonly labelled according to the flora source the bees have collected the nectar from. To label honey after a particular flora source at least 40% of it should come from that particular plant - collecting nectar from one plant only (100%) is practically impossible. Most of the honey here in Australia is made from the nectar of Eucalyptus trees and is therefore Eucalyptus Honey.

Honey coming from a mix of flora sources, or when a predominant source cannot be determined, gets labelled "Wildflower Honey", "Multi Flora", "Garden Honey" or after the area or region it is coming from.
