How do we produce so many different unifloral varieties of honey? The secret is simple, really. . We travel thousands of kms all over WA every year. Constantly searching, observing, and reading the bush. This is why we love what we do so much. Not only do we get to work with one of earth's most important insects, we get to make travel part of our job. Although it never really seems like 'work' when your passion is your livlihood. 🌳 🐝 . . . . #pembertonhoneyco #pemberton #pembertonwa #readthebush #unifloralhoney #australiantrees #australianfarm #Australianbees #australianhoney #honey #beekeeper #beekeepinglife #travel #wheretheroadtookme #lovewhatyoudo #myworkismypassion https://www.instagram.com/p/Cox7ur5B900/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you visit our farm, we have a self serve stall stocked full with all our varieties of honey. 🍯 We appreciate your business 🙏 . . . . #pembertonhoneyco #pembertonwa #honeyhoney #Australianbees #australianhoney #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #jarrahhoney #tuarthoney #karrihoney (at Pemberton Honey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoquB_CPudV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A frame pulled out of the super is full of honey and mostly capped. Once the nectar is brought back from the flower and vomited into the cell, the bees flap their little wings to reduce the water in it to turn it into honey. Once this is done the bees cap the cells with beeswax to protect it. . . . . #pembertonhoneyco #Australianbees #australianhoney #honeybees #honey #fullframeofhoney #bees #genuinelysouthernforests #manjimupwa (at Pemberton Honey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoBCLhsBWVH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A swarm. Swarms happen for several reasons. One is when a hive is strong and thriving it decides it needs more room so it splits. When this happens at one of our apiaries they usually aren't far away and we can catch them and put them into a new hive. We use a range of management techniques and selective breeding to help minimise swarming behaviour and keep the bees in the hive to produce honey for you. . . . . #hives #apiary #pembertonhoneyco #genuinelysouthernforests #catchingswarms #gottacatchemall #Australianbees #australianhoney #beekeeping (at Pemberton Honey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnvKKGcBSVB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At Pemberton Honey we have our own dedicated queen breeding program. It is one of the most enjoyable aspects of beekeeping. Using high quality Rottnest queen mothers ensures our hive genetics are productive, docile and hygienic. . . . . #pembertonhoneyco #pembertonwa #queenbee #rottnestqueen #bees #Australianbees #honeybees #genuinelysouthernforests #honey (at Pemberton Honey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnah_quBwNE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is what our apiary looks like when we are about to extract the honey. We put clearer boards on the day before, which allows the bees to clear out of the top honey super overnight. We then come back the next day and tip the boxes on their edges like this. Any remaining bees, we blow out with a blower vac before placing the honey supers onto pallets and loading them onto the truck. These full boxes are then brought back to our central extracting plant where we extract the honey. 🍯 . . . . #pembertonhoneyco #pembertonwa #honeyhoney #honeysupers #apiary #Australianbees #bees #extractinghoney #honeyextractionprocess #fullofhoney #honey (at Pemberton Honey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnX16liBMmr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We refine our beeswax to make various beeswax candles. . Pillars, small beehives and hand dipped tapers. 🕯 . Beeswax candles clean your air when they burn, by neutralising negative ions (pollutants) in the air. . To me, beeswax candles naturally heal and are a type of therapy. They help me relax, shake the day off and breathe deeper. . . . #pembertonhoneyco #pembertonwa #beeswaxproducts #beeswax #beeswaxcandles #handpouredcandles #handmade #candles #candle #naturalcandles #healingcandle (at Pemberton Honey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clzdum7hfgV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"When honey bees become alarmed (usually in response to a perceived threat to the hive) they emit the strong-smelling pheromones. These compounds stimulate an alarm response in other bees, which in turn produce similar pheromones, so that soon all the bees are in a state of alarm, and ready to attack anything that appears to be an intruder. Smoke acts by interfering with the bees' sense of smell, so that they can no longer detect low concentrations of the pheromones." - BBC sciencefocuse.com . We use dried pine needles or dried lavender. . . . . 📷 @craigkinderfood #pembertonhoneyco #pembertonwa #smoker #bees #Australianbees #honeybees #lavenderinsmoker #beautifulbees #bees #beekeeping #beekeeper (at Pemberton Honey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClpFku5hoS2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
