I want to use honey instead of sugar - do I need to change recipes?​

Use the same weights but reduce the moisture by 1/4.  For example if you are making a cake that needs a cup of sugar and a cup of milk, substitute a cup of honey and only put in 3/4 cup of milk.

How do I know my honey is really raw?

 Raw honey will set; sometimes fast!  Cold temperatures and variety determine how fast.  This is because the sugars have not been modified by heat.   We pack no raw honey mid winter - it's all set in jars that have been packed in summer.  So beware of honey that's runny all year round (unless it's Jarrah).

What do I do if I get a bee sting?

Click here  and type in your suburb - you will find shops that our distributor, The Grocer sells to.  So pick your favourite and then maybe give the store a call to check they have supplies in.  If they do not ask them to order some in for you.

Why do we prefer to pack in glass?

 You keep good wine safely in glass bottles for ages knowing there will be no chemical reactions or tainting.  But glass is fragile and packaging is getting better so maybe one day...
