Our Meluka Honey is produced by bees harvesting at old growth Tea Tree plantation, Jendale. The hives are never moved or transported to ensure our honey stays consistent with integrity of the environment. Our organic raw honey is produced by bees harvesting on Jenbrook, a Certified Organic Tea Tree farm in Australia. Jenbrook backs up to protected rainforest wetlands and the birthplace of our wild-crafted Melaleuca Alternifolia Tea Trees which have been growing for over 30,000 years. Jenbrook's protected rainforest plays a vital role in our thriving bees producing honey that is superior in both taste and quality. Jendale is home to other botanical species including Leptospermum (Jelly Bush), Eucalyptus and Australian Wildflowers. The honey is produced almost year round (with the exception of winter) and is likely to contain a combination of all these botanical species. While honey harvesting has faced much scrutiny in recent years, the fact remains that bees aren’t used as substrates for testing or raw materials in cosmetics, nor are they exterminated for their honey. Worldwide, bees are not harmed in the farming process. They are kept in optimal conditions where they can thrive and are never harmed in the harvesting of our honey. It is not in beekeepers’ best interest to harm their bees as the bees are essential to their livelihood. In some developing areas, entire villages depend on the income from honey trade. Our responsible sourcing promotes pure, cruelty-free honey, and beekeeper safety. Sustainably processed.
