The Production of Gowanlea
gold honey
Our year begins in mid-August as the frosts lift and the days start to lengthen. The bees begin to venture forth in search of pollen and nectar, which enables them to start the gradual process of building their populations to a peak at around Christmas. It is then that a combination of summer rain and heat brings the flowers into blossom and the bees start to hum as they gather the sweet nectar.
By mid summer we start to take the honey off the hives. Back in our extraction plant we spin it out of the combs and sample it for nectar source and moisture content. This enables us to keep the different floral sources separate and offer you, the honey eater, some of the most natural honey on the planet.
