The Honey Colony

This family-owned business wants Singapore to experience the healing properties of raw honey - SilverKris

"A Singapore-based online retailer that began importing premium Australian honeys in 2018, led by managing director Raphael Brunner, who insists on sourcing only raw, unprocessed, pesticide-free products—no heating, homogenising or syrup adulteration—and subjects each item to extensive testing. The business operates with a family-run ethos, with the founder involved in everything from accounting to delivery, and curates a small selection of artisanal brands (including Elixir, Honey in the Garden and the Scottish Bee Company) known for their antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidant-rich profiles. Notable offerings include rare Tasmanian Leatherwood from trees that take decades to flower, Elixir’s Jarrah TA40+ (reported to have up to three times the antioxidants of Manuka), and Scottish Heather honey (studies cite much higher manganese levels). The catalogue also now features Honey For Life (formerly Davies Apiaries), exclusive in Singapore, which manages about 1,000 hives and uses time-intensive cold-extraction to preserve nutrients, producing distinct eucalypt honeys—Karri (butterscotch notes), Red Gum (caramel-like) and Jarrah (nutty, malty). The overall mission is to make high-quality, traceable honey accessible at reasonable prices while educating consumers about its health and culinary benefits." - Creative Solutions
