An entrance feeder is an essential beekeeping tool designed to supply supplemental nutrition directly at your hive entrance. This feeder allows you to provide sugar syrup or water during critical periods—such as spring buildup, dearth conditions, or when establishing new colonies—without disrupting the hive's internal structure. The entrance-mounted design minimizes robbing from neighbouring colonies and reduces stress on your bees by eliminating the need to access internal feeders. Ideal for beekeepers managing multiple hives or those in regions with unpredictable forage availability, this feeder supports colony strength and productivity throughout the season.

    FAQs

    Is your honey raw/unprocessed/heat treated?

    All of our honey is locally sourced and is completely raw
    and unprocessed. There’s no heat used at any point during the extraction
    process, and if it does crystalise (as all raw honey will), it is gently warmed
    to return it to it’s liquid state. The honey is strained as part of the
    extraction process to remove any pollen/dirt from the hive/bee parts – however,
    you may still find a fine layer of wax on top.

    My honey has crystalized – is it no good/how do I fix it?

    All natural honey will crystalize at some point. It’s still
    perfectly ok to eat – in fact some people prefer ‘crunchy’ honey. Some honeys
    will crystalize quicker than others, and putting it in the fridge will speed up
    the process.

    To uncrystallize your ‘crunchy’ honey, you can leave the
    container out in the sun for a day or so – if it’s a hot day, it may only take
    an hour or so to return to it’s liquid state. Or you can partially submerge
    your honey container in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water until in
    reliquefies.

    If you want to maintain all the goodness of your honey,
    DON’T use the microwave to ‘melt’ it – you’ll cook all the benefit out.

    Do you only offer collection in Mareeba?

    We offer collection from multiple locations. Our main
    collection point is 11 Dawson Rd Mareeba, but we can also organise for products
    to be available for collection in Atherton, Tolga, Malanda and Cairns by
    appointment. We’ll just need a day or 2 warning to ensure the products are
    there. We also offer collection from the Yungaburra and Malanda markets –
    you’ll need to have your order placed by 12pm on the Friday before.

    I’m a raw beginner – if I buy a hive, will you help me get it set up?

    Absolutely - we can answer any questions you might have,
    help you find the perfect spot to set your hive up, and if needed, come out and
    do a quick inspection once they’re settled to make sure everything is tracking
    along well.

    Do you sell bees?

    Yes, we do. We sell everything you need to get set up with
    your first hive. You can buy either 5 frames of bees (known as a nucleus hive
    or nuc), or you can buy 10 frames of bees. Regardless of which option you
    choose, you will get a well established colony with a proven queen. The colony
    will have several frames of brood, good food stores, and a bit of room to grow.

    I’ve never kept bees before - when is a good time to buybees?

    Spring and early Summer is always a good time to start –
    There’s generally plenty of flowers coming out, and it’s not too wet yet.
