Honey - Locally sourced
Experience the diverse, natural sweetness of Far North Queensland (FNQ) Local Honey. This premium, raw honey is produced by a local family of second-generation beekeepers, following the seasonal flowering of native flora across the Atherton Tablelands, coastal regions, and the Savannah. Its unique flavour profile reflects the rich floral diversity of our region, offering a pure, natural taste of FNQ.
Beekeeping Heritage: The FNQ Difference
Pure Sweetness: Far North Queensland Honey
This is the very same premium honey we use in our signature Hive & Herb tea blend and our popular Sticky Chai, guaranteeing exceptional quality and flavor consistency.
Our local honey is the product of generations of beekeeping expertise right here in Far North Queensland. Our beekeepers, based on their farm at Lake Eacham, bring decades of experience in honey production and hive maintenance. They manage over 1200 beehives, moving them strategically across a massive territory—from the Atherton Tablelands to the coast (Tully to Daintree) and west to the Savannah—to follow the optimal flowering of our region's diverse native flora.
The Flavour of FNQ Diversity
The complex and rich flavour of this honey directly reflects the health and variety of our local environment. By following the seasonal blooms, the bees draw nectar from a unique blend of native flowers, resulting in a distinct, high-quality product that changes subtly with the seasons—a true snapshot of the FNQ landscape.
Supporting Local Ecology & Horticulture
The work that produces this honey extends beyond the jar; the beekeepers play a vital role in supporting local ecology and the horticulture industry across FNQ. Their hives provide essential pollination services to local farmers, helping to sustain crops such as:
- Avocados and Blueberries
- Passion Fruit and Pumpkins
- Lychees, Mangoes, Melons, and Dragon Fruit
By choosing this honey, you are directly supporting sustainable farming practices and local ecosystem health driven by well-managed hives maintained at an above-industry standard of strength and care.
