From the Hive

Olive & Hive, in North-East Victoria run by Jono and Krista. We have an active apiary and a developing olive grove. Our story goes back to our childhood where Jono grew up on a dairy farm and assisted at a small, local olive grove during summer holidays (which is now one of the largest producers in the region "Cobram Estate).

Jono studied Science at university where he specialised in ecology and entomology (the study of insects). This is where he gained a deep love and appreciation for bees. He purchased his first beehive about seven years ago and have grown the apiaries since then, always focused on the wellbeing of the bees. 

We produce small, single origin honey from our single home apiary. The flavour and colour of each jar of honey is unique representing the season and local conditions at the time. We focus on caring for our bees and only harvest genuine surplus, always leaving enough for the bees. The next adventure will be the production of small batch, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, stay tuned!
