Ellerslie Lakeside Retreat & Whoota Ellerslie Honey

We are disappointed to report another case of stealing from the honesty honey box this afternoon.
Today it was a $50 note that was put in from the previous customer.
Please remember we have cameras 📸 and can see everything.
If you dropped by this afternoon and got your teenage daughter to grab the honey - please check her pockets 😔

This isn’t a post about honey.

It’s a post about the future of Australian food.

For months, we’ve been talking about the challenges facing Australia’s commercial beekeepers. Today, we’re asking something different.

This is an open letter to every Australian who values Australian food.

If you believe Australia should have a strong, sustainable beekeeping industry…

Please take two minutes to read it.

Then, if you agree, share it.

Tag your local, State and Federal MPs.

Tag the media.

Help us make sure this conversation reaches the people who have the power to make a difference.

Because if Australians don’t speak up now, we may look back and wonder why nobody did.

Hi to all of our awesome customers that visit the road side honey box in Tulloch Rd 👋
We are so thankful to you all for your honesty and trying to have the right money on hand as we only carry a tiny bit of change in the money box, we love to think that we can still trust people to do the right thing which mostly you all do...unfortunately we do still have the occasional person that either puts money in but only a portion of the price or takes extra honey after paying for 1 or simply doesn't pay at all 😔 we just want to remind everyone that we do have clear cameras and we do see you, we don't want to post peoples photos on social media but we would love to see some reverse karma, so if you're someone that thinks your photo may be in our album, remember you can always pop that missing money back next time you call past to buy some honey 💫 🫶 🐝

For years now we have made our locally harvested honey available roadside at 24 Tulloch Road Tuncurry, where people have the option to grab some honey and leave money in the container, quite a simple process,
*We supply the honey in box
*You open box & choose what to purchase
*You leave your money in the cash box or contact us for online payments
but over the last week we have had on 3 separate occasions people take honey from our box without paying. Yes we do have cameras but we'd prefer not to post publicly.
We just want to remind everyone that loves our honey and uses this facility that so much work goes into each jar. Its a 4 generation family effort, from tending to the apiaries, harvesting, extracting & bottling and tending to the box and all our other local orders.
Honesty = Good Karma 🐝💫

One of the nicest things about Ellerslie is the beautiful high ceilings and 4 huge bedrooms.
We can sleep 11 people easily with room to feel relaxed and space to have time out if you wish!
Things always feel like they are evolving and changes are being made whenever we have time! We have just had new windows installed in the bedrooms so summer nights can be spent bug free while enjoying the ocean breeze!
