Education

At Pure Coastal Honey, healthy bees and responsible beekeeping are the foundation of every jar we produce.

Our hives are managed across the Northern Rivers region using modern Australian beekeeping practices focused on hive health, sustainability, and careful monitoring throughout the seasons. Bees naturally face pests, diseases, and environmental pressures, and good beekeeping means actively supporting colonies so they remain strong and productive.

This education page explains how we care for our bees, manage common hive pests, and maintain high standards to ensure our honey is produced responsibly, safely, and in harmony with the local environment.
