Within the biodiverse Western Australian Eucalypt forests, nature crafts its own pharmacy, yielding nutrient-rich and highly potent medicinal honeys. These forests, unique to regions like Western Australia, nurture a diverse array of flora, creating an ecosystem teeming with life-sustaining nutrients. As bees collect nectar from these rare blooms, they create honeys infused with a myriad of healing properties. From antioxidant-rich Jarrah and Marri varieties to the potent antibacterial activity measured by Total Activity (TA) rating, the medicinal potential of Western Australian Eucalypt honey knows no bounds.

Western Australia remains free from several significant bee diseases and pests, making ours one of only two healthy bee populations in the world. Without the pests and diseases that ravage the rest of the world’s bees, our beekeeping operations remain chemical free. Healthy, happy bees make excellent honey!

Our entire range of honey is raw and cold processed through a 100-micron filter. As WA’s bee population is disease-free, we do not need to heat treat or pasteurise our honey. This means that the active ingredients maintain optimal effectiveness, contributing to our honeys being the strongest medicinal honeys on shelf.

Our Potent Eucalypt WA honey, boasts an exceptional Total Activity (TA) rating which is a testament to nutrient rich biodiverse forests, healthy bees, and the highest purity.

What is a TA rating?
The Total Activity (TA) rating of honey measures its antimicrobial strength, specifically its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria and pathogens. This rating takes into account the combined effects of various antibacterial compounds present in honey, such as hydrogen peroxide, phytochemicals, and other factors.

To determine the TA rating, honey is tested against certain bacterial strains in a laboratory setting. The level of bacterial growth inhibition is then measured and compared to a standard solution of phenol, a chemical compound used as a reference for comparison.

The TA rating is expressed as a numerical value, typically ranging from 5+ to 35+. A higher TA rating indicates greater antibacterial activity and thus, potentially greater health benefits. Honey with a higher TA rating is considered to have stronger antimicrobial properties and may be more effective in supporting various health conditions, including wound healing, sore throat relief, and overall immune support.
