The Gum Tree Apiary was born in 2007 when Paul fulfilled a lifelong dream and purchased around 400 beehives in Western Australia, and started the art of beekeeping on a full time basis.
Working long days and nights, traveling vast distances, he is able to ensure the bees are constantly sited in areas abundant with only the finest available flowering plants and nectar.
Our Family Business
You don't just go into beekeeping, it's something you're raised and brought up in
Dad Paul has been keeping bees from about the same age that daughter Michaela is now. Having developed his skill under the watchful eye of his own dad, he is now passing on his knowledge and enthusiasm to the next generation.
Our Bees
Some of our 400 hives being prepared for a move - they are moved to keep up with the blossoming trees, (which starts earliest in the north, then moves south as the weather warms up) so that the bees have a constant and prolonged supply of blossom.
