About
Upper Beaconsfield Certified Organic Apiaries is a family-run boutique apiary at Beaconsfield Upper, in the foothills of the Dandenongs about 50km south-east of Melbourne. Trading online as VicHoney, it produces raw Australian eucalyptus honey from its own well-managed hives, working with the seasonal flowering of native eucalyptus trees rather than blending across honeys or seasons.
The honey is cold-extracted and sold unblended, so the colour and taste reflect whatever the bees gathered that season. It is not mixed with imported honey or cut to alter its character. Honey is offered in glass jars and larger buckets, alongside honeycomb, with direct sales through the VicHoney online shop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of honey does VicHoney sell?
Raw Australian eucalyptus honey from the apiary's own hives. It is cold-extracted and sold unblended, so each batch reflects the eucalyptus species flowering that season.
Is the honey blended or mixed with imported honey?
No. The honey is unblended and is not mixed with imported honey or other honeys to change its colour or taste. It is simply what the bees produced.
How can I buy it?
Honey is sold direct through the VicHoney online shop in 500g glass jars and 3kg buckets, plus honeycomb when available.
Do they offer beekeeping services?
Yes. The apiary runs a live bee swarm removal service in the warmer months, hires out hives for crop and fruit-tree pollination, and sells bees from spring onwards.
