Kangaroo Island, off southern South Australia is world renowned for the quality and purity of their honey production. The Island's advantage in being separated from the mainland ensures bee colonies are protected from diseases to which mainland colonies are susceptible.

Due to the pristine air, temperate climate and natural environment of Kangaroo Island, a consistently high quality product is guaranteed.

The Ligurian honey bee was introduced from Italy in 1884 and the species has enjoyed isolated population status on the island for more than 100 years.

In order to protect and maintain this pure strain of bee, the Island was declared a sanctuary in 1885 and an embargo has been placed on the entry of bees and honey products to the Island.
