About
Beesfriend is a family-run business in Berwick, in south-east Melbourne, built around bees. It sells pure raw local honey in a range of sizes, along with honeycomb, propolis, beeswax and handmade creams and soaps, through its online shop with postal delivery and local pickup.
Beyond retail, Beesfriend is a bee rescue and education initiative — it removes hives from buildings, collects swarms, mentors new beekeepers and runs beekeeping classes, emphasising ethical beekeeping and the importance of pollinators. As the team often attends bees off-site, they ask customers to make contact before visiting.
