Desert Honeycomb
200gRaw honeycomb straight from the hive. No processing, no spinning - just wax, honey, and whatever the bees decided to include. Enquiries only - get in touch and we'll let you know what's cut.
Queen Bees
Live QueensBred tough in Alice Springs conditions. These queens handle 45°C summers and freezing winters - conditions that would kill most southern queens.
Desert Flora Pollen
Raw PollenPollen from whatever's flowering out here in the scrub. We collect it when we can - desert plants don't bloom on your schedule, they bloom when they bloody well feel like it after a bit of rain. Seasonal stuff, so don't expect it year-round. Contact us if you want some.

What makes it outback
Three things separate desert honey from the rest.
Alice Springs origin
Our hives sit 1,500km from the nearest coast. Desert-hardened trees, isolated from broadacre farming and the spray that goes with it.
Red Gum, Bloodwood & more
Trees that flower when local rain says so. You can taste where the honey came from.
Cold bottled
We don't heat it and we don't filter the pollen out. Enzymes and flavour stay where they belong.
Outback vs supermarket
If it tastes the same every time, someone did too much to it.
Most jars on the shelf have been blended, heated and stripped before they ever got to you. Real outback honey looks, sets, and tastes different from batch to batch - that's the point.
Our outback honey
- Single-origin from Alice Springs hives.
- Bottled cold - enzymes still intact.
- Unfiltered, pollen and all.
- Tastes of the desert it came from.
Supermarket honey
- Blended from multiple sources, often overseas.
- Heated so it stays liquid.
- Ultra-filtered until the pollen is gone.
- Tastes the same in every jar.
Two jars
One light, one dark.
Finke River
The dark one. Dense and strong, with a mysterious finish. A bit of Red Gum, a bit of Bloodwood, a bit of Melaleuca and something else. Different every year.
Finke River honey →Desert Collection
The light one. Mostly River Red Gum: golden, quite easy, with a gentle eucalyptus note. Red Gums line the dry riverbeds and flower after local rain.
About River Red Gum honey →Common questions
Questions we hear from people new to the outback stuff.
What actually counts as outback honey?+
Honey from bees foraging in the arid Australian interior - far from farms and spray. Ours comes from hives around Alice Springs, where River Red Gum, Bloodwood and the rest of the scrub produce a flavour you won't find on the coast.
How is it different from supermarket honey?+
Most supermarket honey is blended, heated, and ultra-filtered. Ours is single-origin, bottled cold, and unfiltered - so the enzymes, pollen and flavour stay intact.
Do you ship Australia-wide?+
Every state and territory except WA. Usually 2-6 business days depending where you are. Free shipping on orders over $49.
