Mount Majura Gold

Mount Majura Gold are hives located on Mount Majura with a wide range of forbes, eucalypts and wattles for bees to feed. The hives are located in the native pasture close to a rain-fed dam. The bees have easy access to clean, clear water all year round and can forage on the native flora – a wide range of forbes, eucalypts and wattles. This unspoilt and varied landscape provides the bees with different feeding opportunities throughout the year.

Mount Majura Gold use Langstroth hives and harvest conservatively, ensuring plenty of honey remains in the hives to see the bees through winter. The triple filtered honey is clear and golden with a flowery taste but not too sweet.
