Just Natural Healing Balm and Just Honey

Just honey was originally started in 1983 and has grown to be a small family run beekeeping operation of around 100 busy beehives cared for by chief apiarist, Mike Thacker. Mike works closely with the bees to gather the finest honey in the Richmond area and uses their beeswax, propolis and essential oils to produce our sought after Healing balm. Originally started by Mike’s son Justin, as a means to earn extra pocket money while at school (hence the name “Just” Honey) Our goal is to create and educate people on truly natural products that have a positive effect on your well-being and for the good of the environment.

Throw back to an article from last year on our queen rearing day - this was just before we all got lock downed down...

A new topic for many of us as queen rearing is not a common practise in South Africa. Justin Thacker gave a very comprehensive overview of his procedure and adaptations to local conditions and bee lifecycles. Even if you never intend to queen rear the information helps to understand our bees better....

Grafting and Rearing our own queen cells (Queens) to put into small queenless splits we take off big colonies (that could otherwise swarm) These small hives are used to fill empty hives and replace any colonies that may have died or absconded during summer. Lots of work! but very rewarding, especially when you see the results of having healthy young queens heading your hives.

We’ve had some wonderful feedback from customers of late using our healing balm to sooth and repair hands from the overuse of sanitizers on hands. It’s wonderful to know that our product is helping and healing!!

“Hi. I hope you are both keeping healthy, happy and safe during the unique time!
I just wanted to share with you the incredible results both my daughter Kayla and my friends little girls Bailey have had using the healing balm. Both girls had flaring red knuckles from all the hand sanitizer. Kayla was so bad and itchy that they were bleeding. I unfortunately didn't think to take photos, but within 2-3 days, they were healed and soft. It's amazing. And with one little application daily, she hasn't had another problem.
Bailey's mum was clever and took some pictures...”

Just Honey Harvest 2020:
I was so pleased to see all the hard work over the last 2 years finally pay off. It has been an up hill battle against a lot of odds, including drought, vandalism and the vinegar fly stealing all the nectar from the gum tree flowers in 2019. Thankfully this year we have had a good cold winter which seems to stunt their population giving our bees a gap to gather a surplus crop of honey!
