(it) is the flower transmuted, its scent and beauty transformed into aroma and taste'

Wooden section of Wild honeycomb harvested from bee-friendly Warré hives in the Central Tablelands of NSW.
Only once every four to eight years will this tree flower, enlivening our bees to collect her rich, amber nectar during late summer and occasionally into early autumn.
Surplus yields are only possible every second or third flowering cycle, meaning that harvests only occur once every decade or two.
Growing on elevated hills of the Central Tablelands at altitudes of 800 to 1100m (in an extreme climate with highly variable rainfall), the honey produced from Red Stringybark woodlands is one of the finest in Australia.
Biting down on a rich, sticky piece of our wild honeycomb is a unique gastronomic experience; the wonderful flavour and aroma of pure honey is amplified when preserved in the thin wax chambers of the comb.
The health benefits of eating honeycomb outweigh liquid honey, as all the natural elements are preserved and no heat has been applied at any stage of harvesting or processing.
The wax is also virgin wax, produced entirely by the bees to store the precious nectar. In contrast, most other honeycomb producers in Australia give the bees a thick artificial 'starter' sheet of beeswax which increases yield but greatly decreases the flavour, texture and purity of the end product.
When eating comb, it is easy to appreciate and savour the true essence of honey and marvel at the wonder of nature in producing such a perfect food. The slight waxy residue that remains after eating the comb is entirely natural and can be chewed like gum, while the sweetness lingers.
Honeycomb can be eaten as a whole food, spread on toast, broken over Greek yoghurt with fresh walnuts or figs, crushed over porridge and muesli, or used as an interesting addition to any fine cheese platter or dessert.
Our Wild Honeycomb is a Delicious Produce Awards ‘State Winner’ and Gold Medal Winner at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
