Our honey is produced using cold extraction methods to ensure it retains its natural flavours and microbial benefits. 

Honey is produced through Spring and Summer when the bees collect nectar from nearby flora, which is then converted into honey.

Honey that is excess to the needs of the bees is removed and extracted from the honeycomb.

Different areas produce different colours and flavours of honey. Check out our apiaries for more details about the flora in each area.

We currently have heaps of honey available with batches from each of our apiary sites. If you are after honey from a certain region of the Adelaide Hills close to one of our apiaries, give us a call.

Our honey is now available from select retailers;

Bees wax is produced by bees from nectar and is used to build the honey comb that houses growing bees (brood), pollen and of course honey.

Bees wax can be used for a variety of purposes including producing candles, furniture polish and cosmetics. Unlike parafin candles bees wax candles do not produce benzene and toluene when burned (highly toxic carcinogens). The toxins released from paraffin candles are the same as those found in diesel engine fumes.

Beeface produces natural bees wax in a range of sizes and colours. From time to time we will also produce wax candles.

Please contact us for bees wax availability.

 

We are experienced swarm removal specialists using highly specialised equipment that enable us to removal swarms quickly. We support a number of metropolitan councils and assist removal of honey bee swarms. We practice holding public liability insurance. We re-home disease free bees in bee hives in Adelaide Hills apiaries.

Most of our swarm and hive removal work is from electrical boxes, water pits, trees (that can accessed below 4 metres) carports and cupboards, possum and bird boxes. We do not conduct building demolitions to remove bees from chimneys or building wall interiors as an appropriate Builders Licence is required to conduct these removals. We are not certified to exterminate bees and recommend contacting exterminators where swarm/hive recovery is not possible. Land or property owners permission is required for us to conduct bee removal from any property. All removals include removal of bees, honey, wax, propolis and any other bee material as per legislative requirements.

Costs

Swarm removals that do not require using a bee vacuum are free of charge in most cases (although we do appreciate a donation towards travel and other expenses).

Swarm removal using a bee vac (which requires access to power) where the removal is more difficult start from $50.00. Ask for a quote for service.

Possum and bird box removal starts from $100.00. Ask for a quote for service.

Swarms or hives can be reported using the Report a Swarm page and filling out the required fields of information. If you can provide a photo (if safe to take one) this will assist us assess your requirements. We will then contact you to obtain further details about the swarm/hive and to arrange removal.

For new beekeepers, we can assist with setting up your new hive, performing ongoing maintenance, and providing advice and assistance regarding beekeeping practices.

Batches

All of our honey is classed as multi-flora as we allow the bees to forage across a range of flora in the areas surrounding our apiaries. This encourages the collection of a range of pollen from different sources helping to maintain healthy bees.

At various times throughout the season there may be large flowering events (nectar flows) from a predominant species. This will create honey with a unique colour and taste for that flowering species. This does not however create a mono-floral product (e.g. Blue Gum, Red Gum etc) as there are plenty of other floral sources for the bees to visit maintaining diversity in their diet. While a batch of honey may be mostly made up of a predominantly flowering species, it will contain a mixture of a number of floral specieis overall.

Our honey is extracted in batches from hives that have an excess of honey from each apiary at various times throughout the honey producing season. 

Each container of honey we sell has a batch number on it. Select the corresponding batch number from the list below to find out where the honey in that jar came from.
