Ben’s Bees Honey Hut is nestled in the Blackburn neighbourhood, under the bright blue sky, and the yellow little house looks particularly charming.

The interior is creatively decorated with simple displays of various products, such as honey, honeycombs, beeswax soaps, and more.

The owner has a very laid-back approach – the hut is typically unmanned, and customers are trusted to leave their payment in an open box since it’s an honour system. They only accept cash, and it’s best to have exact change, as they might not have change available.

On the walls, there are layers of notes from customers to the shop owner. We remember one customer specifically mentioned driving all the way from Adelaide to buy this honey, truly certifying their love for it!

Not only is their honey delicious, but it’s also locally sourced pure honey. Plus, it’s quite affordable, with a large 1.5kg jar costing only $30.

They also have an official website where you can find beekeeping books and supplies. And they offer hive removal services for residents. Established in 2008, their business spans beekeeping, environmental awareness, and community engagement. Overall, they come across as a company filled with passion and a sense of responsibility, with a perfect 5-star rating on Google!

If you or someone in your family has pollen allergies, you should definitely give their honey a try. It’s also a great addition to cereal. And if it crystallizes in cold weather, just place it in hot water to restore its original form.

For those feeling anxious, visiting this honey hut might be quite therapeutic and help rescue your mood.
