Welcome to The Basin Backyard
The Basin Backyard is a small, family-run local business brought to you by husband and wife team Jen and Bill - beekeeping enthusiasts with over 12 years of experience. We currently care for 200+ beehives across various Melbourne-area locations like the lush Dandenong Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, and Gippsland.
Sweet Honey & Helpful Mentorship
Our little backyard operation not only produces exceptional single-origin honey, but we love to share our insider knowledge! Visit our Knoxfield shop to chat about beekeeping over fresh honey tastings. We also offer on-site bee mentoring to help spread sustainable practices.
Committed to Community & Environment
Helping our customers and community learn about ethical, eco-conscious living guides everything we do. We take pride in being a transparent resource - happy to explain our natural processes used to nurture the bees and create pure, unpasteurized honey straight from the hive. We're grateful when customers bring back their jars to refill too!
As values-led stewards of these cherished pollinators, we remain passionately committed to generating interest and demystifying the magic behind these environmental superheroes. Let's save the bees together...one jar at a time!
