Welcome
After moving to a farm on the Mornington Peninsula, Pure Peninsula Honeys’ apiarist John Winkels turned his hobby of many years into a full time business. John found 2 feral beehives, which he carefully monitored, tended to and eventually moved into boxes. This was the beginning of Pure Peninsula Honey.
With passion as a foundation, orchards in many parts of Victoria and New South Wales are regularly pollinated and honey is produced with a vast depth knowledge and experience.
Today, Pure Peninsula Honey transports bees to pollinate fruit, vegetable and seed crops. Pure Peninsula Honey also produces high quality honey that is rich in flavour and goodness. Bee removal forms a substantial portion of the business as well, removing unwanted bees from domestic and commercial premises. Beeswax is produced as a by-product for many different consumer uses.
Pure Peninsula Honey progressively strives to be a leader in all aspects of the industry. The team uses innovative technology and training to remain update and continue both individual and industry success. As consumer interest and demand in Pure Peninsula Honey increases, the business actively seeks to continue at a steady growth rate.
Pure Peninsula Honey prides itself on its ability to offer customers high quality service and produce. The team at Pure Peninsula Honey invites comments and feedback about how their services can be improved.

| The fires have wiped out several of our beesites. We are always in need of finding new sites to keep our hives alive. The February heat wave has reduced bee numbers per hive which has resulted in higher mortality of beehives and queenbees. |
