The Bungawalbin Valley provides our bees with some of the cleanest bushlands in the world to forage. They are drawn to the natural healing benefits of tea tree that thrive in this area. Studies show that foraging on the tea tree help bees maintain a healthy immune system, providing a natural probiotic for their digestive system. This helps them produce honey that shows strong, immediate antioxidant and sustained anti-microbial and anti-bacterial activity.

Looking after our bees is key for our beekeepers, prioritising their well-being to ensure they produce sustainable, natural honey.
