How about a tub of local, delicious honey?
Year 11 student Logan Kempinski is an avid beekeeper with about 100 beehives housing about 60,000 bees in each hive. So that's 6,000,000 bees which are located across five local properties around Murchison.
The bees are collecting pollen and nectar from Australian native Greybox trees. Logan sells the honey which he packages into 500gm and 1kg tubs as well as 500gm squeezey bottles.
If you'd like to give Logan's honey a try, you can complete an order form here
