Whether it is Tasmania's unique leatherwood (pictured) from World Heritage areas or clover & blackberry blossom from Tasmania's lush farm land, it is from this small beginning that our unique honeys are gathered. |
||
|
Hives are positioned in areas in the Northwest of Tasmania in spring & early summer (September to December) before being trucked to the West coast of Tasmania in time for the Leatherwood flowering. The hives are palletized & strapped together for transport. |
||
|
The supers ( honey boxes) are returned to Mole Creek to have the honey extracted. The protective capping placed over the honeycomb must first be removed before the honey can be extracted. |
||
|
The frames containing the honeycomb are placed in a centrifuge to extract the honey, which is then stored in stainless steel vats. |
||
|
When required the honey is first filtered to remove any small traces of honeycomb before bottling. |
||
|
Tops & labels are placed on the bottles by machine before being hand packed to our customers requirements (The day these photos were taken was a 15 hour 19,000 bottle overseas order) Have you noticed that the only change in the above process is the container. The pure honey in the honeycomb has not been altered in any way it's just been transferred into a more convenient container. |
