A Growth of a Family Enterprise

R. Stephens Apiary at Mole Creek was established by the late R. Stephens in 1920, and has progressed from a pre-World War One hobby of a few hives, to a successful apiary business of 2500 hives.

Today the thriving business produces approximately 35% of Tasmania’s honey crop. R.Stephens produces two varieties of Tasmanian honey.

Golden Bee Clover/Blackberry & Ground Flora Honey

Difficult weather conditions in some years limit our producrion of this fine light honey – is gathered from the lush pastures of the North and North West of Tasmania during December and January from clover, blackberry and ground flora.  This honey is sold mostly on the local market because production rarely meets demand.
It is from areas like the one shown on the left & paddocks of clover shown on right that this honey is produced
