ABOUT COASTAL NECTAR
THE FOUNDER
Hello, I’m Beekeeper Tom!
I’m a passionate local beekeeper, surfer and love to identify different varieties of eucalyptus trees. You can often find me running to the waves after a long day spent working with our 500,000 honeybees.
After learning the gentle art form of beekeeping whilst travelling overseas, I founded Coastal Nectar to raise awareness of the importance of my favourite pollinators… The BEES.
THE GENTLE ART OF BEEKEEPING
Nestled on Wadawurrung land, Coastal Nectar was founded in September 2020. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Coastal Nectar has grown organically, putting a modern twist on the 9000 year tradition of beekeeping.
We are inspired by this beautiful coastline and it’s diversity of flowering eucalyptus, wildflowers and tea tree. This region provides native pollinators and honeybees with a great pollen and nectar source throughout the year.

Our 10 happy and healthy beehives are spread between 4 apiary sites located along the famous Great Ocean Road. We are at the forefront of practicing natural and responsible beekeeping, only harvesting honey when in excess and ensuring the bees' wellbeing comes first.
