Artisan Honey and Beeswax Gifts Available for Mother’s Day with Free Shipping

KINGSCOTE, South Australia, April 22, 2026 — The Kangaroo Island Ligurian Bee Co. a certified-organic honey producer based in Kingscote and a double winner at the 2025 SA Premier’s Food and Beverage Industry Awards, has confirmed its full product range is available for Mother’s Day on 10 May 2026. The range, which includes raw single-flora and blended honey varieties, beeswax candles, and traditional honey mead, is available through the online store with free standard delivery on orders of $100 or more across Australia, and in person at the Island Beehive shopfront in Kingscote.

Kangaroo Island Honey

“Honey is one of those gifts that feels considered without being complicated,” said Verity Hayman, Managing Director, The Kangaroo Island Ligurian Bee Co. “When people understand where it comes from — the pure Ligurian bees, the protected island environment, varieties that only exist because of a specific bloom or a seasonal event — it becomes something genuinely different from what you find in a supermarket. That story is part of the gift.”

The company’s online store ships nationwide, with orders dispatched from its Kingscote hub. For shoppers in South Australia, the Island Beehive shopfront at 59 Playford Highway, Kingscote is open daily from 9am, closed Christmas Day, and includes guided walk-throughs, honey tastings, and hands-on beekeeping experiences.

Single-Flora Varieties Drawn from Rare and Seasonal Native Blooms

The honey range includes several single-flora varieties harvested from native blooms that are irregular by nature, making them limited and season-dependent. Remota Honey carries warm notes of burnt sugar and candied pecan. Boobialla Honey draws from coastal winter flowers with a delicate herbal sweetness. Yacca Honey is produced after bushfire triggers the plant’s tall flower spikes, meaning harvests can be separated by years. Eucalyptus cosmophylla Honey comes from a South Australian endemic species, and Karkalla Honey offers a fresh grapefruit-like bitterness suited to cheese and charcuterie pairings.

These varieties sit alongside the company’s broader honey collection, which spans the full range of Kangaroo Island’s seasonal flora. All honey is raw and unprocessed, free from additives, with gentle handling designed to preserve natural enzymes, aroma, and seasonal flavour.

Beeswax Candles and Honey Mead Round Out the Gift Range

Beyond honey, the range includes beeswax candles made from certified organic Kangaroo Island beeswax with a pure cotton wick and no synthetic additives, and traditional honey mead produced from the company’s own honey. The company describes these products as a whole-of-hive approach, using more of what the colonies produce while reflecting the same commitment to purity and minimal processing that underpins the honey range. Both are available through the online store and at the Kingscote shopfront.

The Kangaroo Island Ligurian Bee Co. manages over 800 hives moved across the island according to flora and season, producing up to 90 tonnes of honey per year. All production follows low-stress harvesting principles — only surplus honey is taken, hive inspections are kept brief, and colonies are left strong for the next nectar flow.

Kangaroo Island has operated as a protected bee sanctuary since 1885, making it home to the world’s last genetically pure population of Ligurian bees. The island’s 13-kilometre separation from mainland Australia prevents hybridisation and disease transmission, contributing to the consistency and purity of every harvest.
