The House of Honey are ecstatic to announce our finalist position at the most prestigious tourism awards in Western Australia.
As previous 2021 winners within the Business Categories award, it is a tremendous feat to be nominated once again, and we are proud to be sharing the spotlight amongst other fantastic local businesses that are helping attract and support tourism in the area.
Shortlisted for ‘Excellence in Food Tourism’ and ‘Tourism Retail and Hire’, the awards recognize and celebrate businesses for their excellence, individualism, and professionalism, and for being true ambassadors for their local area. With our heart and mission firmly rooted in protecting local bees, sustainably sourcing the finest West Australian honey, and educating our visitors on all things apiculture, we are delighted that our passion has helped us reach this final position.
Western Australia is increasingly being acknowledged as one of the best places in the world for beekeeping and harvesting honey. With significantly low rates of bee disease as well as honeys that contain some of the world’s highest activity levels (such as our prized Jarrah Honey), international markets are developing a real taste for this Western Australia produce. There’s even a growing hunger amongst visitors to find out more about beekeeping, hives, honey varietals and how to get started in the industry, which here at the House of Honey we address through numerous educational events, including: One on One with a Beekeeper, Bee Farm Tour: Beekeeping 101, Beeswax Candle Making and Mead Evening and Setting up a Beehive.
Of course, Western Australia’s fantastic ecosystem for honey harvesting is not news to owners Rupert and Kim, who have spent 30 years dedicating themselves and their business to upholding the health and productivity of the state’s bees. On receiving their award news, they said:
‘We are so incredibly proud to reach the final of the Western Australia Tourism Awards, not only because it recognises the hard work of our House of Honey family, but it shows that we are fulfilling our mission to educate our visitors on the importance of bees and sustainable apiculture. 2023 has been a record year for us and we are seeing more demand than ever for high quality honey, so we are particularly proud to be able to showcase an authentic Western Australia product in all its glory. This award nomination means so much to us because not only does it recognise the fantastic produce we have at our fingertips, but that international visitors are choosing us time and again for our honeys, events, meadery and Sticky Spoon Café.’
Finalists are invited to the Perth Airport Western Australia Tourism Awards on November 11th, and the team at the House of Honey are excited to celebrate their hard work as a team and toast a successful 2023, whatever the result!
