Visit the House of Honey in the Swan Valley
Maggie & I couldn’t survive without our regular trips to the House of Honey in the Swan Valley to restock our supplies of Jarah Honey, Cinnamon Honey & Apple Cider Vinegar.
We love the attention to detail & sense of humour that these guys have put into the place, the first thing you notice when you pull into the driveway is that it’s called “Bee Keeper Dr” and they even have a polite but firm parking notice (see pic below).
Inside the House of Honey you’ll find an enormous range of Honeys including several that are laboratory tested for their ability to heal such as Jarrah, Blackbutt and Red gum. These tested Honeys are given a TA (Total Activity) rating to indicate their antimicrobial activity, anything that sounds that scientific has to be good for you!
All Honeys are available for a free tasting and there is even a “Live Bee Display” showing the bees working away in an actual bee hive, don’t worry they’re much too busy to escape and chase the customers!
In fact all of the Honey sold here is extracted by the Bee Keeper (& owner) Rupert Phillips & his team from various bee hives which are moved around at night to provide different flavours based on the specific local flora of each location.
Also in the House of Honey are a wide range of products based around Honey & Bees including Bee Pollen, Apple Cider Vinegar with Jarrah Honey, Royal Jelly & even Handmade Beeswax Candles to name but a few.
Also inside you’ll find “The Sticky Spoon Café” which, true to it’s name sells lots of yummy sticky food, Devonshire teas, Herbal Teas & Darkstar Coffee.
