Ben’s Bees Pure Raw Honey 1.5kg

This is the size we reach for ourselves when the smaller jar keeps running out too fast! Good for baking, marinades, or just keeping the pantry properly stocked instead of restocking every few weeks. It’s the same honey as the 500g jar, straight from the same Melbourne hives, just enough of it that you’re not rationing.

Details:

• Size: 1.5kg glass jar
• Raw and cold-extracted: spun from the frame, sieved to remove wax, never heated
• 100% local Melbourne honey, no imported honey blended in
• Bees managed without harsh synthetic chemicals for varroa mite control
• Will naturally crystallise within a few months, a sign it’s raw, not a flaw
• Works out cheaper per gram than the 500g jar

Why raw honey over supermarket honey?

Most supermarket honey is heated to around 70°C to keep it smooth and shelf-stable, and some of it is blended with cheaper imported honey to cut costs. That blending problem isn’t hypothetical either; recent testing found real issues with imported honey sold in Australia. I wrote up what it means for you.

We don’t do either of those things here at Ben’s Bees. This 1.5kg jar is spun straight from the frame and sieved, nothing more, so it keeps its natural texture and flavour instead of the forever-runny stuff in the plastic bear bottle. We also manage our hives without harsh synthetic chemicals, so what ends up in the jar is honey the bees actually made.

Already know you love it? This 1.5kg jar means fewer trips back for more.
