  "The bee is more honoured than other animals, not because she labours, but because she labours for others."

- St John Chrysostom

Our bees, and the forests they gather from, are our passion.

We strive to provide the best practices for keeping our bees. Our methods focus on minimal interference, allowing the bees to dictate how to maintain optimal health and well-being.

We are a small family of Tasmanian beekeepers and producers of pure, native floral honey, based in the Tamar Valley.

Leatherwood honey is our primary focus. This ancient species, endemic in Tasmania, is the most important source of food for Tasmania’s bees. We move our bees to the rainforests of Tasmania’s Northwest coast where they gather this unique, healthy and delicious honey.

Our bees bring in unique varieties of honey that are highly sought after.

Most of our honey is sold in bulk to Australia’s mainland and is also available internationally.

If you'd like to pay us a visit in person, we warmly welcome you to join us at our local farmers market, Launceston's Harvest Market. Here, you can explore a wide selection of our honey varieties, indulge in sweet honey mead, savor Tasmanian pepperberries, and engage in a conversation about our production methods."

 In the spirit of reconciliation, Honey Tasmania acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia.

In particular, we would like to acknowledge the patinamana, larila and people who live along the kanamaluka/Tamar River and those in the takayna/Tarkine region of lutruwita/Tasmania, where we place our beehives - and their connections to land, sea and community.

We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

 

We send very few emails and respect your privacy.
