The Queensland Nectar Trail
Four Queensland honeys. Four different flavour profiles. Discover the honey the landscape made for you.
From coastal gums and melaleuca to hinterland wildflowers, inland ironbark and Brisbane’s leafy suburbs, the Queensland Nectar Trail celebrates the natural variety of honey found across our state.
We select each batch of honey for its flavour, origin and connection to the environment behind it.
Raw Australian honey, carefully chosen and packed in Queensland.
The landscape
Salt air, coastal wetlands and sunlit afternoons
Along the coastal edges of South East Queensland, the landscape has a relaxed, unhurried quality. Coastal wetlands stretch between the dunes and the treeline. Melaleucas line the creek banks, their white bark peeling softly in the sea breeze. The bees that forage here move between coastal gums and paperbark blossoms, drawing nectar from flowers shaped by salt air and sandy soil. The honey they produce carries that same easy, sunlit character.

The beekeeper
Our Seaside Honey comes from an independent beekeeper who is at the forefront of varroa mite research in Australia, working to help the industry prepare for the challenges ahead. Her commitment to bee health shapes the care she brings to every harvest.
The landscape
Fertile valleys, wildflowers and the Glass House Mountains
Hinterland Honey comes from the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, a region of volcanic peaks, fertile valleys, subtropical forest and wildflower meadows shaped by the seasons. Watched over by the ancient Glass House Mountains, this is the spiritual home of Hive & Harvest. Macadamia orchards blossom in winter, citrus trees perfume the hillsides in spring, and native wildflowers bloom throughout the year, shaping the distinctive floral character of this honey.

The Hinterland after dark
The Hinterland gives us more than honey. The wildflowers, citrus and mountain eucalypts inspired our Hinterland Harvest candle. The eucalyptus leaves, paperbark and pine cones a beekeeper burns in a smoker, and the memory of late nights camping in these mountains, became our Hinterland Campfire candle.
Explore the full candle range.
The landscape
Ancient eucalyptus forests and the open inland
Move inland and the landscape opens up. The trees grow taller and older. Ironbark, box trees, grey gum. The canopy reaches overhead in the forest gullies; elsewhere, the country stretches wide and flat under a vast Queensland sky.
Our Country Honey is harvested by John, a long-time beekeeping partner and mentor, who follows the seasons through Condamine, Texas and Miles, moving with the bloom across some of the most beautiful inland country in Queensland.

Eucalyptus honey. Australia’s own.
Most of the world’s honey is clover or acacia. Reliable, familiar, good. But eucalyptus honey is something else entirely. It exists almost nowhere outside Australia. The depth, the warmth, the earthy complexity that sits beneath the sweetness. That is what the inland gives. A flavour the rest of the world simply does not have.
The landscape
A leafy city alive with subtropical blooms
Brisbane is one of the greenest cities in Australia. Jacaranda trees turn the streets purple every November. Flowering gums and paperbarks grow through parks and reserves. Bottlebrush, grevillea and lilly pilly fill suburban gardens. At the city’s edge, Mt Coot-tha and the Samford Valley bring the bush right to the urban boundary.
Hive & Harvest began here. First hives in Paddington, placed with a good friend and fellow beekeeper. Then Ashgrove, New Farm, Mt Coot-tha and Samford. Brisbane’s urban bees move between flowering gums and garden plants, native paperbarks and backyard citrus trees. Urban beekeeping keeps the city flowering. A relationship that benefits everyone.

A garden city in every jar
Brisbane’s subtropical climate means something flowers in almost every garden, every month of the year. Bottlebrush, grevillea, golden penda, paperbark. Lavender and basil pushing into bloom in the kitchen garden. Most urban honey comes from a handful of plants. Brisbane honey comes from hundreds. That breadth is what gives it its character.
