01 / Meet the producer
From the goldfields to the honey fields
The family story begins with Benjamin Robinson, a Beechworth gold miner who turned to beekeeping in the 1880s. His sons and later generations continued the work, building a connection between the family and the forests of north-east Victoria.
In the 1990s, Jodie and Steven Goldsworthy bought 500 hives and a truck to establish their own business. Today, their children also keep bees, carrying the family’s beekeeping story into its fifth generation. Beechworth Honey describes itself as wholly Australian family owned.
That history is useful context when exploring the range: the brand puts considerable emphasis on the different floral sources behind honey. You can start with an everyday blend, then compare it with a named floral variety to discover what you prefer.

02 / A sense of place
A honey stop in historic Beechworth
Beechworth, in north-east Victoria, is the brand’s home base. Its flagship honey shop is at 31 Ford Street, Beechworth VIC 3747. The shop offers honey tasting and a working beehive display, making the town part of the story as well as a name on the jar.
Planning a visit? Allow time to compare a few floral varieties. Check current opening hours and group arrangements with the producer before travelling. The shop address is not a claim that every jar comes from hives within Beechworth.

03 / Get to know the honey
Which part of the range interests you?
Think about texture first, then flavour. These are different ways into the range, not a ranking of the products.
An everyday starting point
Traditional honey
Consider the Traditional range when you want one honey for toast, porridge and general kitchen use. Choose a format you can handle comfortably and compare cost per 100g.
Explore a floral source
Single varietal honey
Look for a named variety such as Blue Gum. A useful tasting exercise is to compare two varieties on the same plain bread, noticing aroma, texture and how long the flavour lasts.
Change the texture
Creamed honey & honeycomb
The producer also offers creamed honey and honeycomb. A spreadable honey suits a toast-focused pantry; honeycomb gives a cheese board a different texture.

04 / Make it personal
What would you like from your honey?
Open the option that sounds most like you.
I want an everyday honey
Start with Traditional honey. If you usually measure honey for cooking, a wide jar or tub may suit you better than a narrow bottle. For drizzling at the table, compare squeeze formats.
I want to discover new flavours
Choose two different floral varieties and taste small amounts side by side. Write down your own observations before reading the label’s tasting notes; it is a simple way to discover your preferences.
I am choosing a gift
Consider whether the recipient would enjoy a tasting selection, a spreadable honey or honeycomb. A smaller variety pack can be more interesting than a large jar of a flavour they have never tried.
These are editorial shopping suggestions, not taste-test results or paid rankings.
