Snives Hives

Snives Hives is a local apiary and honey producer based in St Ives, New South Wales, Australia, specialising in the rescue, relocation and sustainable management of honey bee colonies as well as the production and sale of pure, handcrafted honey and beeswax products. The business operates with a strong conservation ethos — rescuing colonies from unwanted locations (such as roof cavities or trees) and relocating them to managed hives where the bees can thrive and produce high‑quality honey rather than face extermination.

In addition to selling jars of locally harvested honey, Snives Hives supports pollination services for farms and properties across the Sydney region, contributing to local agriculture and ecosystem health. Its products are well‑reviewed for natural flavour and artisanal quality, and the company has participated in competitions where its honey has been recognised for excellence. With a focus on environmental stewardship, community engagement and the wellbeing of bee populations, Snives Hives appeals to customers who value ethically produced, locally sourced honey and the broader mission of supporting healthy pollinators.
