About Us

It started in the family’s backyard..

When Backyard Honey founders, Peter and Jane Dyer, realised that while many people dreamed of having beehives and harvesting their own pure raw unheated honey, they often did not have the time or apiary experience required.

​

Inspired by this, Peter and Jane pursued their beekeeping passion and developed Backyard Honey, an innovative Melbourne urban beekeeping business to: 
•    Sell & maintain healthy beehives
•    Harvest raw local honey and beeswax
•    Supply beekeeping equipment and services

  • Perform swarm removal in Melbourne, Bayside, Stonnington and Boroondara

•    Raise positive community pollinator awareness
•    Positively impact on local bio-diversity
•    Improve the pollination of local gardens

 

In 2021, Peter and Jane handed over the business to Henry and Mary who are excited to inspire the next generation of beekeepers and uphold the values that Backyard Honey was built on.​ Backyard Honey encourages you to Bee Local, supporting our local pollinators and beekeepers at a time when we need it most.

​

Backyard Honey acknowledges the traditional owners of the land, including the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, traditional custodians of the land where the Backyard Honey “Apiary” is based
