About
KWONGAN • HONEY
Kwongan honey is sourced from the Great Southern area of Western Australia.
Tending the hives
in pristine Bremer BayWhat is honey? Honey is concentrated nectar. Nectar is a sugary liquid collected from plants by bees and carried back to the hive in a small internal sac known as a ‘honey tummy’. The nectar is 70-80% water when collected and needs to be reduced to about 18% before it can be stored in the hexagonal wax cells of the honeycomb. The nectar droplets are passed between thousands of bees while fanning their wings to evaporate the water. The bees then cover each cell with a wax cap for safe storage.
The little winged wonders
bees bearing natures giftsWhat is raw honey? It is honey that is not heated above the normal hive temperature of 35 degrees C, unpasteurized and unprocessed in order to keep all of its micronutrients and enzymes intact for health reasons and for a better taste. Raw honey contains more pollen and small pieces of wax so may be slightly hazy. Due to the natural extracting and processing methods, our honey may also candy at a quicker rate than processed honey but this is your guarantee that the product has not been overheated or diluted with syrup.
A great start to the day
nutrition & tasteWhat is Kwongan Honey presenting? A Raw, Seasonal Honey, to bring the myriad of flavours that the bees live on and enjoy themselves with a variety of different nectars & pollens that makes Kwongan honey healthy and strong. Each season will have a dominant range of Kwongan plants as the bees main source of nectar, this will give you raw honey with a unique and ever changing flavour – straight from our bees to you.
Emu Bush
Hakea LaurinaBee Facts 1 - The honey bees wings stroke incredibly fast, about 200 beats per second, thus making their famous and distinctive buzzing sound. A honey bee can fly for up to 10km, and as fast as 24km per hour. It takes 500 honey bees four weeks to make one kilogram of honey, and they will travel the equivalent of three orbits of the earth in distance to collect it. Bees need to eat seven kilograms of nectar to produce just one kilogram of beeswax.
Grass Tree
XanthorrhoeaBee Facts 2 - Honey bees have 170 odorant receptors, this is the equivalent of 50 times the scent sensitivity of a dog. Each honey bee colony has a unique odour using pheromones for members’ identification and communication. They also use a dance called the “waggle”, to lead the worker bees to flowers.
Parrot Bush
Banksia SessilisBee Facts 3 - There are on average 50,000 worker bees in a hive. 20,000 of which are female worker bees collecting honey. Really strong hives can have more than 100,000 bees. The queen bee can live up to five years and is the only bee that lays eggs. She is the busiest in the summer months, when the hive needs to be at its maximum strength, and can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day, that’s one egg every 43 seconds.
Slender Banksia
Banksia AttenuataThe word Kwongan comes from the Noongar Aboriginal word for sand plain and is used by botanists and ecologists to describe the vegetation of this region. The Southwest of Australia has not experienced glaciers or ice for more than 200 million years, this has preserved many ancient species. Approximately 80% of the regions 7,239 discovered vascular species are found nowhere else in the World.
Bitter Water Creek

The 297,244 hectare ( 734,506 acre ), national park supports a rich variety of native plants and is an internationally recognised "Biodiversity Hotspot", it is one of the most important reserves for plant conservation in Australia.

Unique plant families include; the Myrtaceae family, (including the genera of Eucalyptus), Melaleuca, (paper barks), and Verticordia, (feather flowers); the Fabaceae family, including the genera of Acacia (Wattles); the Proteaceae family, including the genera of Banksia, Hakea and Grevillea; and the Ericaceae family, including the Leucopogon, (beard heath), genus.
Community Information

Farmers in Bremer Bay that are involved in Kwongan Honey
Care and attention
At Kwongan Honey, we consider that Communities and Commerce are important elements of creating a sustainable future. Without them, there is no money to invest in the repair of ecosystems and other critical environmental processes. Conservation is the basis of our business which is just a small part of the wider Community. So, without Conservation and Community it is almost impossible to be a viable Commercial entity.
The environment is a source of energy, air, land, water, materials, ecosystems and habitats. It is clear that the health and wellbeing of human society depends on a functioning environment. In turn, the business economy and wealth depend upon a functioning society as well as a healthy environment. This reality underpins the Kwongan Honey approach to business.
Dillon Bay Estate
Dillon Bay Estate was established in 2016 by the Ball family with the aim of developing a non-migratory apiary.
Steve Ball’s interest in bees started with 2 hives in the family’s suburban back garden in Perth. He soon realised that this was not enough for him and the family began searching for a property to expand his hobby into a business. They found the perfect property in the beautiful coastal area of Bremer Bay with the wild Southern Ocean to the south and the pristine Fitzgerald River National Park to the east.
The Ball’s commissioned Nathan McQuoid, Landscape Ecologist, in 2017 to help with the revegetation of a portion of the property that had previously been used for grazing sheep and cattle. The aim is to maintain the diversity and structure of the native vegetation and to increase the abundance and cover of valued honey production species.
Modern commercial beekeepers usually rely on migratory beekeeping – moving hives around on transport to make use of pollen abundance and nectar flows. Non-migratory beekeeping will reduce energy consumption and the carbon footprint from lower emissions.
Steve hopes that by reducing bee movements and the mixing of bee populations on a non-migratory apiary, it may improve biosecurity with less chance of transferring any diseases. Western Australia is currently free of many of the diseases that trouble the rest of the world meaning that there is no need to use antibiotic strips in the hives leaving the raw honey produced in Western Australia as 100% pure and natural.

Tom & Astrid Long own and operate an 18-hole mini golf course, nestled in beautiful native bushland, bordering the Fitzgerald River National Park, with spectacular views over the lake. The family fun course is guaranteed to provide the odd challenge or two! Followed by a snack at the Kiosk - try either fish & chips or their fabulous ice cream, a cup of coffee or a smoothie. Swan Pedal Boats provide some extra family fun and a wonderful way to explore the lake and to view all the birdlife in the area. Chickens, ducks, sheep and a very friendly cow called Missy Moo help to make a visit to the Bremer Bay Mini Golf & Kiosk a must.
Tom and Astrid have had a lifelong interest in health and fitness owning gyms in Perth and now, the only gym in Bremer Bay. Honey has always been an important part of their daily routine and enjoy and promote the health benefits of raw honey.
Kwongan Honey is available for sale from the Kiosk.
