Pure honey is more than just a sweet treat; it is a tangible connection to Australia’s rich indigenous heritage. For centuries, Aboriginal Australians have revered the Wandoo tree for its medicinal properties and its role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. By savoring Wandoo honey, you honor this ancient tradition and connect with the land that has nurtured it for generations.
It comes from the nectar and pollen of the flowers of the Wandoo tree, commonly known as the White Gum tree, and native to Western Australia. This honey typically crystallises with a fine granular texture, making it and Eucalyptus honey favourites for creamed honey.
Bella Bees Wandoo White Gum Honey is harvested from pristine natural environments of the Southern Region of Western Australia, far from any industry or suburban settings, resulting in honey that is pure, natural, chemical, and pollutant-free.
Our honey is unprocessed, cold spun from ripe honeycombs, and coarse filtered to maintain the distinct taste of pure, raw, and 100%, natural honey. Unfortunately, much of the commercial honey available today is processed and heat-treated, which effectively reduces the antimicrobial properties and benefits of the honey.
Bella Bees Wandoo White Gum Honey is only coarse strained to remove any larger chunks of the honeycomb. The honey is never heat-treated, and for this reason, retains much of its natural goodness, nutritional qualities, vitamins, minerals, trace pollen from the hive, propolis particles, fine comb particles, antimicrobial properties, and antioxidants.
We are blessed to have some of the most pristine natural environments and bushlands in the world here in Western Australia, and it is from these native Wandoo White Gum trees that our bees produce some of the worlds cleanest and most deliciously honey.
Bella Bees Honey does not recommend storing Wandoo White Gum honey in a refrigerator, as it significantly accelerates the process of crystallisation and will harden your honey. For the best flavour, honey is best stored at room temperature.
During winter and if you are in an unusually cold area, try storing your honey jar next to a window where sunlight shines through and warms the honey up.
