About
Bee Sustainable is a Melbourne home-food-production store on Lygon Street at Brunswick East, set up as a hub for making food at home. Its best-known line is beekeeping — equipment, nucleus hives and beekeeping courses — alongside raw honey and beeswax candles and skincare.
Beyond bees, the shop carries cheesemaking cultures, rennet, moulds and Mad Millie kits; fermentation supplies for kimchi, kombucha and pickling; Fowlers Vacola preserving jars, bottles and lids; grain mills with a custom flour-milling service; and bread-making gear. It also runs workshops in beekeeping, bread-making, cheese-making and fermentation. It's a supplies and education store — it doesn't sell fresh meat or produce, which is worth noting for an organic meat directory, though its raw honey is the closest fit.
