Our Bees
We keep a number of native bee hives onsite from which we source our product. We keep only one particular species of native stingless bee called Tetragonula Hockingsi (TH). Research shows that honey from TH contains a higher level of Trehalulose (rare sugar), when compared with other native bee species.

Trehalulose
Trehalulose is a unique sugar found in Australian native bee honey in significant quantities, found to be low on the glycaemic index and high in antioxidant properties. Further medicinal properties continue to be discovered....

The Product
Australian Native Bee Honey (ANBH) has a unique flavour profile which is enjoyed by many people the world over. Each TH hive only produces approximately one kilogram of honey each year, making ANBH a relatively scarce and valued commodity.

"Stingless bee honeys are used by native peoples around the world as medicine. Their faith in the medicinal properties of stingless be honey is now supported by scientific research"
