Australia’s honey industry is under threat from imported honey. Imported honey could carry viruses such as foul-brood and may be toxic due to pollution. Some beekeepers feed their bees corn syrup or sugar which bees store the same way as they do honey and is consequently harvested for consumption. The solution is for Australians to support local beekeepers and buy local. Selling directly to the public enables the beekeeper to sell at retail prices. This aims to add security for the beekeeper and enables the local community to experience local raw honey. See the community honey map which connects consumers to beekeepers > HERE.
