Where do you deliver to?
I deliver to most of so-called Australia. I hand deliver to metro Melbourne, and post everywhere else. Sadly I can't deliver to WA or Kangaroo Island due to biosecurity laws, but if you live in either of those places I'm sure there's plenty of local beekeepers with delicious honey who you can support!
What are your delivery options?
Standard delivery - $12
This is delivered either directly by me or via regular parcel post. Orders will be dispatched within 4 business days
Pickup - free
You can pick your order up from Forest Hill, VIC for free. The pickup address is provided during checkout and in your order receipt. Please leave the date you'd like to pick up in your order notes. Orders will be ready for pickup within one business day. Your order will be left at the doorstep of Em's house, in a bag with your name on it. Please make sure you take the right one
I can't post to WA, Kangaroo Island or overseas due to biosecurity laws
Can I return my used jars to you?
Yes, please do! If you have previously bought a jar of honey from me, you can return the jar to me once you've finished the honey. I will be able to clean and sterilise the jar and then reuse it again.
When will you have more honey?
I usually harvest honey in summer, any time between November and March. Harvest times vary year to year and it takes me some time to jar the honey and prepare it for sale. I am just a one person operation, with some occasional help from friends, so I appreciate your patience and support.
How are you paying the rent?
20% of the purchase price for everything I sell is donated to First Nations charities such as Black Rainbow and Deadly Science, or paid to First Nations mutual aid funds.
I love your honey - do you sell in bulk?
Not at the moment, as I want to make sure there is enough honey to go around to everyone. I am only a small operation, but maybe in the future I will be able to sell larger quantities.
Do you have a discount for people who can't afford your stuff?
Yes! I want everyone to be able to enjoy my honey and other goodies, even if your dollars are a bit tight. Use the code WEGOTYOU in the checkout for a big discount, no questions asked. I don't wanna make people feel weird about having to ask for the discount code or whatever, so I'm trusting people who have the financial means to support my little shop to do that
Why is there a donation option in your store?
I'm saving up for top surgery, a gender affirming surgery that, like all gender affirming healthcare, is not covered by medicare. It is super expensive ($12k) and I'll have to take some unpaid time off work to recover too. I'll be putting the profits from my little shop towards my top surgery and I have this donation option so that people who have capacity and want to throw in a few extra dollars can do that
Can you teach me beekeeping?
Probably yes!! I love bees and talking about bees and sharing my bee knowledge with everyone and if you want to learn more or get started with your own bees, I'd love to help you. That said, I am just one person and don't always have the capacity to do everything I want to do. Conact me via the contact form or DM me on instagram and I'll let you know how I can help :)))
Can I host a hive?
Potentially! I am often looking for places to host my beehives. Hosting a hive means the hive lives at your place, but it still belongs to me and I maintain and look after it. In return, your garden flourishes and you'll get to enjoy some of the honey when I'm able to harvest.
