Question 1

Why does honey taste different every time I buy a new batch?

Accepted Answer

Our honey comes straight from the bee hive. It has not been altered, heated or blended. That is a guarantee we give our customers.    Because bees collect nectar from plants in their area that are in bloom at the time of collection, the taste depends on the type of plants for that location and time of year.    If you like a particular taste of honey make note of the batch number and purchase more of the same batch or if no longer in stock you can look up time and location of your batch and purchase again in the next year from the same location. (Although this might not taste the same either, but is the closest you can get)

Question 4

Help! Bees moved into my property! How can I get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

Bees swarm when their hive is becoming too small for the large numbers of bees. The queen and half of the bees in the hive leave and initially settle on a branch near the hive.    From their they are looking for a new home where they eventually build a new hive. We do collect swarms on the Central Coast of NSW. Please contact us and we will attend to your problem.   Swarms are not dangerous as bees only get agressive when they protect their home. Please do not spray them as that will make them mad.
