Throughout September, as the days start to get longer, Queen egg production increases. This increases the size of the nest and results in growing bee numbers. On warmer days we see more activity around the entrance of the hive. When the weather permits, we inspect the hives every 9-14 days but are careful not to disturb the hive too much as we don't want the bees to swarm.

Throughout August the days are starting to get a bit longer and Queen egg production is slowly increasing, the brood nest growing and this results in the colony growing. It is still important not to disturb the hives, so we only check the hives from the outside and ensure we keep the hive entrance free from grass, weeds, and other obstacles.

Over the course of the coming months, we aim to bring you updates from the beekeeper, important dates in the beekeeping calendar, our latest product offers, some lighthearted trivia, and more! We hope you enjoy it!

Fewster’s Farm superior Jarrah TA+45 honey is the most active honey in the world. With an MGO equivalent of 2610, it provides exceptional health benefits and healing potential. The extremely high activity is scientifically determined by Analytica, New Zealand (the same laboratory for Manuka test). Very rarely does our organic Jarrah honey return activity levels this high. The flavour is a magnificent blend of fruity flavours and the perfumes of the ancient Jarrah forests.

Fewster's Farm Premium Raw Honey comes straight from the beehive and all we do is strain it before we bottle it. This ensures it retains most of the beneficial nutrients and antioxidants that it naturally contains. In comparison, regular processed honey is clear with a smooth texture, an even colour, and an inability to crystallise. This is because regular honey is pasteurised before it is bottled. The many steps of processing also result in it losing the beneficial nutrients and goodness from the original nectar and pollen.
