We have have been collecting honey from Bruny Island for over 20 years; currently we have about 400 hives on the island.
The bees are moved around the island at different times of the year to follow the nectar flows: Prickly Box in the North of the Island; Manuka around the Great Bay, Neck area; Bush honey all over, depending on the flowing of the eucalyptus, and; Leatherwood from Mount Mangana.
We take the bees to pollinate the Black Devil Cherry Orchard in September / October every year.
Just 20mins from the ferry terminal, we are open for free tastings every day! See the bees hard at work in the observation hive & try to spot the queen. Pure Tasmanian honey to purchase, honey treats, gifts, skincare, cosmetics, beeswax products & delicious Leatherwood honey icecream!!
