Description
What Makes Banksia Honey Unique
In simple terms, this is what gives Banksia honey its distinct flavour and character. Because the bees are focusing on one main floral source, the taste, texture and aroma become more defined, reflecting the Banksia trees themselves rather than a blend of multiple nectar sources. It’s also worth knowing that Banksia isn’t a honey we get every season. Much like our White Gum (Wandoo), the bees need the right conditions for the Banksia to flower well and produce enough nectar, so some years there’s no harvest at all. When we do get one, it’s worth savouring. Nature isn’t exact, so there can still be slight variations from season to season depending on conditions, but that’s part of what makes raw honey so interesting. Each batch of Banksia honey stays true to its source while still carrying its own subtle differences.The Taste and Texture of Banksia Honey
Every batch of Banksia honey carries its own subtle differences, influenced by rainfall, flowering conditions and the bees themselves.- Texture: Smooth and buttery with a soft, almost creamy mouthfeel
- Flavour: Mild to medium in strength with gentle caramel notes and a slightly nutty, floral finish
How to Use Banksia Honey

A True Taste of Western Australia
Banksia honey is a quiet achiever, subtle, smooth and incredibly moreish. It’s a honey that reflects the native flora of Western Australia, offering something a little different from more common varieties while still being easy to enjoy every day.
Ingredients
100% raw Banksia honey. Nothing added, nothing removed.
Origin & harvest
Harvested from coastal bushland regions surrounding Gingin, WA. Produced when Banksia trees come into bloom, this honey is considered monofloral Banksia depending on the season. The bees primarily collect nectar from Banksia flowers rather than a mix of plants, which is what gives it its distinct character. As with all raw honey, slight seasonal variation is natural.
Every batch is independently tested for its Total Activity (TA) rating. You can view the current certificate for this honey here. Not sure what a TA rating actually means? We’ve explained it in plain English.

Just the season, the bush, and the bees doing what they do.

Your honey questions, answered
Why has my honey crystallised?
Totally normal, and actually a good sign. Real, raw honey crystallises over time because of its natural sugar content, it just means there’s nothing added and nothing taken away. If you want it back to liquid, sit the jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes and give it a stir. It’ll taste exactly the same.
Is raw honey better than normal honey?
In our books, yes. Most honey you see in supermarkets has been heated and filtered, which is great for shelf life but strips out a lot of the natural pollen, enzymes and flavour along the way. Ours is raw, meaning it’s harvested straight from the hive and never heated past what the bees themselves would experience. You get all the natural goodness, plus that proper honey taste.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yep, we ship to every state and territory across Australia. Just pop in your address at checkout and we’ll get your honey on its way.
Where does the honey come from?
Straight from our own hives across Western Australia. We’re migratory beekeepers, moving our hives through Perth and the South West so our bees can forage from native trees like Jarrah and Marri, then we harvest and bottle it ourselves.
What type of honey is best for me?
Depends what you’re after. Want something bold and packed with wellness benefits? Go for Jarrah, it’s got a smooth caramel and toffee flavour and strong antimicrobial properties. After an everyday honey the whole family loves? Marri (Red Gum) is our most popular for a reason. Got little ones or prefer something gentler? Wandoo or our Creamed honey are lovely and mild.
