What makes desert honey different from regular honey?

Our desert honey comes from the harsh Australian outback around Alice Springs. Desert flora concentrates their nectar, creating honey with real character and complex flavors. Our Desert Bloodwood has robust intensity, while River Red Gum offers refined taste.

Is your honey raw and unfiltered?

Absolutely. We don't heat, filter, or add anything to our honey. What the bees put in the comb goes straight in the jar, preserving natural enzymes, pollen, and beneficial compounds. Crystallization is a sign of quality - just warm gently.

Where exactly does your honey come from?

Our hives are around Alice Springs, Northern Territory, near Desert Bloodwood trees along dry riverbeds and River Red Gum trees. Some trees are hundreds of years old, producing honey through generations of desert conditions.

How long does shipping take?

We ship from Alice Springs Australia-wide, taking 5-10 business days depending on location. We pack securely for safe arrival. Local pickup available for Alice Springs residents. International inquiries via contact form.

Do you really ship live queen bees?

Yes, seasonally within Australia only. Bred for extreme heat and drought - not commercial queens. Adapted for Australia's harsh climate. Availability depends on season and breeding success.

What's the best way to store honey?

Store in sealed container at room temperature. Never refrigerate as it speeds crystallization. If crystallization occurs (normal for raw honey), warm gently in water - never microwave.

Is your honey suitable for people with allergies?

Some customers use our local honey for seasonal allergies due to local pollen content. However, we're not medical professionals and can't make claims. Consult healthcare professionals for severe allergies.

Do you offer refunds or returns?

We stand behind our honey completely. Any issues - shipping damage, dissatisfaction, or wrong expectations - contact within 14 days and we'll make it right. We want you to experience true Australian desert honey taste.
