Honey Perth

Buying Honey For Life in Perth means buying from a Western Australian producer. Our honey is harvested from Jarrah, Marri and Karri forests and our own Manuka plantations in the South West. Our bees forage across native forests and plantations, so every variety tastes of the flowers behind it. The Jarrah, Marri and Karri varieties are unique to the South West.

Honey For Life owns two plantations in the South West. We have planted over a million trees there, most of them native to Western Australia.

Our honey is raw and unpasteurised. It is cold-extracted, never heat-treated and only lightly filtered. Gentle handling like this keeps the aroma and flavour you expect from Western Australian honey.

Raw honey can look cloudy or set firm over time. Both are normal.

Single-origin honeys such as Jarrah are unblended, so colour and flavour change from one variety to the next. Jarrah honey comes mainly from Jarrah flowers, and Blackbutt honey comes mainly from Blackbutt trees. Nectar flow also changes with the seasons, so each batch can look a little different. That is part of the appeal of raw honey.

In 2019 Honey For Life bought Davies Apiaries, a Western Australian commercial beekeeping operation. It came with an extraction facility and 1,200 beehives.

That means we look after our own bees, our own hives and our own extraction. Healthy bees and careful beekeepers make great honey. Buy from us and you buy straight from the beekeepers.
