• All hives are sourced from Australian timber.
• Our hive boxes are chemical free.
• Biodynamic principles of beekeeping have been adopted, as permissible, under current legislation.
• Hive design innovations ensure intervention is kept to a minimum, thereby ensuring optimal conditions for the bees, maximising bee health.

Golden Plains Honey vs. Conventional honey

Our Bees construct honeycomb in hives made from sustainable wood and materials that are treated with natural products.	Conventional Beekeeping utilises honeycomb in frames made of material that is chemically treated with synthetic material.
Our Honey is stored and ripened in Honeycomb that bees have constructed naturally.	Conventional Honey is stored and ripened in honeycomb that bees have constructed on recycled wax or plastic comb.
Our Honey is stored and ripened for 3 to 9 months in the hive.	Conventional honey is collected once the supers are full.
Our Honey comes from bees that are fed their natural diet.	Conventional Honey comes from bees that fed artificially
Our Bees are treated only with organic biodynamic preparations to maintain their health.	Conventional bees may have been treated with chemicals & synthetics
Our honey is extracted at low temperatures	Conventional is heated & pressure filtered to facilitate extraction
Our bees are only placed in environments of low toxicity and pollution thereby ensuring a clean nectar supply.	Conventional beekeepers pay little attention to pollution levels or environmental toxicity
