About
Bee Rescue Melbourne is a bee removal and rescue team operating across Melbourne and Victoria. The founder began beekeeping in the mid-1990s after being captivated by a first swarm, and now three generations of the family are involved. They save over 100 hives each year from pest control extermination.
Based in Melbourne's green belt, the business is also the home of Heidi Honey Hurstbridge. About twelve years ago they became small migratory beekeepers, following blossom in the Yarra Valley and Central Victoria, including Melbourne suburban hives. They produce a raw Australian honey that is unfiltered, unheated and not blended with other syrups. Their Hayfever Honey, a natural sinus remedy, contains pollen, propolis, beeswax and raw honey collected from hives across Melbourne. The business is registered, insured and part of the State Government Quarantine Team for Varroa mite incursions.
Other products include beeswax candles made by 91-year-old Opa, a classic chai blend prepared by Claudia (Mrs Honey), and the Lippy skincare range homemade by Heidi and Angelique using active manuka honey, real beeswax and locally grown olive oil. These products are available via their online shop; the business is not open to the public.
