"In West Australia, one of the last few remaining pesticide-free places on Earth, I produce honey in small batches - between 1,000 to 1,600 bottles a year.
Together with my buzzing friends, we want you to enjoy honey as nature intended and have worked hard to keep it that way."
This mono-floral Jarrah honey is a highly prized honey that is antioxidant-rich and has remarkable antimicrobial & antibacterial properties.
I am proud to release this rare and unusually exceptional Jarrah harvest, distinguished with a Récolte Rare label or rare harvest label: Lab results certify this harvest V22/007657 way above TA 35%.
It takes 36 weeks, 7 maybe 8 bee stings, the occasional chase by a random farmer's crazy dog and absolutely no shortcuts to quality to make a honey season.
Often known as “chasing the flowers”, one man (me) would load his hives onto a trailer to a pre-scouted locale with flowering trees.
I'll leave the bees to work for a few weeks before returning to harvest the first batch of honey.
A few puffs of smoke help calm the bees while I harvest honey from the matured frames.
Some are stubborn so I'll gently sweep those away.
A honey frame is always left for the bees while surplus boxes are harvested.
Leaving bees with enough food is important; I don't feed my bees with sugar syrup which weakens them and downgrades their nectar collection, leading to poorer quality honey.
Extracting honey the traditional way preserves natural goodness: The top layer of wax and impurities is laboriously scraped off before setting them into the centrifuge to spin your honey out.
After extraction, your honey is filtered through a coarse strainer. The result? Cold-pressed nutritional-preserved honey.
Some process honey with high heat and fine filtering - while this keeps their honey in a liquid state longer and is easier to bottle, much of the honey's nutritional qualities are ruined.
Every jar of honey is full of its original qualities, nourishments and intense taste that I absolutely take pride in providing.
It was 2015 and in a moment of madness, I bought 2 beehives and kept them in my backyard.
Today, i'm still fascinated by my lovely bees and have since learned to raise my own queen bees. My wife still keeps the first jar of honey we harvested.
Call, write or WhatsApp me, I will be delighted to meet you.
