A Day with Apiarist Scott Whitaker in Maleny

Meet Scott Whitaker and Allyson Reynolds

Hinterland Bees, led by Scott Whitaker and Allyson Reynolds since 2010, stewards more than 250 hives across Maleny and the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Their journey began in 1996 with a single hive, blossoming into a legacy rooted in eco-friendly honey production.

A Taste of Terroir

Their honey, a true expression of terroir, embodies the biodiverse surroundings, a bio-regional fingerprint echoing the essence of the environment. Positioned strategically, their bees traverse gardens from Maleny to Mapleton, capturing the diverse flora in their delectable nectar.

Natural, Pure, and Raw

Unfettered by migratory beekeeping, Maleny Honey is a blend of seasonal blooms, cultivated through eco-conscious methods. The honey, free from additives, chemicals, or heat treatment, retains its natural essence, flavor, and beneficial properties.

Sustainable Beekeeping

Their beekeeping philosophy extends beyond mere honey production. They conduct one-on-one beekeeping training, undertake live beehive removals, and manage hives for various clients, all rooted in sustainability and ethics.

Ethical Endeavors and Education

Hinterland Bees champions more than honey sales. Their ethos revolves around saving bees ethically and sustainably. Education stands at its core, advocating for the significance of bees in pollination and nurturing a deep respect for these remarkable creatures.

Embracing Bee Reverence

Their fascination with bees is palpable. They prioritise the gentle treatment of bees, infusing love and care into every aspect of their honey and services, mirroring their profound reverence for these vital pollinators.
