Who Is Postcode Honey
My name is John and I live in North Perth, Western Australia. I have established Postcode Honey - a private family business with the goal of establishing a hive in every postcode in Perth, Western Australia.
I wanted to become a beekeeper for years after working for an apiarist one summer back in the 1990s. After encouragement from family and friends, I finally took the plunge in early 2014. We bought the equipment and established the first hive in our back yard in April 2014. Since then, we have slowly been building up the number of hives that we are managing.
We are hoping to establish at least one beehive in every postcode in and around Perth. That will be more than 100 postcodes - we are currently at around 70!
All our honey is small batch, raw and cold filtered - we do the bare minimum to ensure you get the purest of WA's world renowned honey.

The main reasons for this goal are:
The main reasons for this goal are:
- We want to make delicious truly local honey available to everybody
- We would love to increase the number of bees - particularly in the inner-city suburbs
- We believe that we will improve the local environment by improving rates of pollination and encouraging biodiversity
Local Food
We believe that locally produced food is best. Here are some of the reasons we think that you should buy Postcode Honey:
- You know exactly where your food has come from.
- Some products sold as "honey" in Australia have been found to be imported honey flavoured corn syrup.
- Postcode Honey is 100% raw, unheated, unprocessed honey sourced from local hives.
- Many of the honeys sold on supermarket shelves have been heated excessively, blended and mixed with imported honey.
- Australia has recently experienced some health food scares involving imported foods.
- Raw honey contains small amounts of pollen from the plants that our bees have visited.
- Many people believe that consuming small amounts of locally produced pollen provides health benefits such as improving or eliminating allergies such as hay fever.
