Bee All Natural - People's Choice Award (Home Business) & Excellence Award (Innovation)
This ‘artesian’ family-owned business has been proudly operating since 2013, with hives located across Southeast Queensland. The company is committed to continue the age-old techniques adopted from generations of beekeepers who have practiced sustainable, natural and organic methods.
Bee All Natural products are made with award-winning raw honey recognised to be top quality, all-natural, and kind to the environment.
Bee All Natural was lucky enough to scoop two awards on the night, one of which was for their social impact initiative Adopt A Beehive.
The project was set up as a response to global concerns regarding the decline of pollinator populations, and to ensure increased pollination rates for organic food crops.
Work involves establishing bee sanctuaries that are clean and free from contamination of toxic products that kill bees and other beneficial insects.
Adopt A Beehive donations have led to more safe bee sanctuaries where the insects can live, feed and produce healthy hives and honey.
Posting to Facebook, the team said: “We were privileged to receive the ‘People's Choice - Home Business’ and the judges ‘Excellence in Innovation’ Awards.
“Congratulations to all of the worthy nominees and winners of the inaugural local Business Awards, supported by Peet Communities.
“It was such a wonderful night supporting local businesses with terrific hospitality thanks to the brand new Flagstone Tavern.
“Thank you to the esteemed judges and Charis Mullen MP and Natalie Willcocks Councillor for Division 11 for your continued support in our small business community, and of course, our bee-utiful customers and supporters for your encouragement. We wouldn't bee here without you all.”

Their aim is to build a brand that intertwines events with the restaurant and increases customers’ connections and experiences.
Jae said: “It’s always difficult to know where you stand with a People’s Choice Award because you don’t know how people have voted.
“I don’t think I realised how much the award meant until our name was called out.
“It definitely reinforces the work we are doing. You do what you do every day but you never know if it’s having an impact. It’s great to know that after so many years in the community we are doing something right.”
