Meet Sam & Mel!
Sam & Mel- Honey Source
Sam & Mel are the dream time behind Honey Source. Sam shares his story about why he started beekeeping: “I started beekeeping 7 years ago when my two young daughters’ love and need for honey became insatiable. I would often joke with them “you kids are going to send daddy poor with your honey habit”. Deciding the cheaper option was to purchase my first hive and make our own never-ending supply of honey. That one hive quickly ignited a passion for bees and started me on my current career path as a full-time Apiarist. In 2017, Honey Source was born when Mel joined the team and my dream has now turned into OUR reality.”
“Beekeeping has provided me with the opportunity to meet countless people. Be it through my mentoring/ consultancy, networking with farmers, working with and learning from my peers locally and worldwide. I love my job, I love my office and of course, I love my co-workers (the Bees).”
When I asked Mel why she started her journey with Honey Source, she replied: “2 years ago if anyone had of told me what I would be doing today I would have laughed ‘bees sting, bees are nasty pests”…why anyone would want to work with them was beyond me! Fast forward to today… Sam has taught me the importance of Bees to this world and human existence. He has shown me that there are such things, as ‘gentle bees’. He has sparked a passion I never knew existed, I actually like working outside and have found my Zen when I spend time with our Bees. The creation of Honey Source has been amazing. I am excited about its future and look forward to developing and growing our customer base and products.”
Today Honey Source manages 130 hives and this number continues to grow. They hope by the end of this season to be managing over 300 of their own hives and they also helping to grow other clients’ apiaries as well. To find out more head over to their website www.honeysource.com.au.
Thanks so much for sharing your story Sam & Mel!
