Here you’ll find simple, honest answers about how BeeYumi works, how to use it and what to expect in your daily routine.
About BeeYumi
What is BeeYumi?
BeeYumi is a range of Tasmanian Leatherwood honey blends combined with nutrient-dense superfoods; designed as a simple, everyday way to enjoy real, nourishing food.
What is a functional honey?
A functional honey blend combines raw honey with carefully selected whole-food ingredients to create a nourishing food that naturally fits into everyday life. At BeeYumi, we use raw Tasmanian Leatherwood honey as the foundation, layering it with herbs, mushrooms, berries, spices and botanicals. Our blends are inspired by the centuries-old tradition of electuaries, bringing this time-honoured preparation into everyday life.
Who is this for?
BeeYumi is for anyone who enjoys real food! Just note, according to Australian food safety guidelines, honey is not recommended for children under 12 months of age.
Leatherwood honey
What makes our honey different?
We use Tasmanian Leatherwood honey; a rare, single-origin honey sourced from the wild temperate rainforests of Tasmania’s West Coast. It’s naturally rich in bioactive compounds, including 4-methoxy-mandelic acid (4MMA), a compound unique to Leatherwood honey and not found anywhere else in the world. This contributes to its distinctive properties, alongside its purity and unique flavour... setting it apart from standard, processed honey.
Is our honey raw / unprocessed?
Our honey is raw, unprocessed, and cold-extracted. Cold-extracted means the honey is handled gently and not exposed to high heat. Most supermarket honey is heated, filtered, and blended, which can strip away natural enzymes, aroma, and beneficial compounds. Ours is kept as close as possible to how the bees made it...
Why is BeeYumi more than just honey?
BeeYumi starts with raw Tasmanian Leatherwood honey, but that's only the beginning. Every blend is handcrafted using carefully selected herbs, mushrooms, berries, spices and botanicals, then slowly stirred over the course of a week to create a beautifully balanced functional honey blend. Rather than rushing the process, we give every batch the time it needs to develop naturally, resulting in a delicious daily ritual inspired by centuries of traditional wisdom.
Ingredients
Why combine honey with herbs, mushrooms and botanicals?
Honey has traditionally been used for centuries to carry and preserve other ingredients while contributing its own remarkable qualities. By combining it with medicinal herbs, mushrooms, berries, spices and other whole-food botanicals, each ingredient contributes to the whole, creating a blend that's greater than the sum of its parts. Delicious, nourishing and simple to enjoy every day.
Do we use fillers, additives, or preservatives?
No, never! Our blends contain only the ingredients listed on the label. No fillers, no artificial additives, and no preservatives.
How do we choose our ingredients?
We choose ingredients based on quality, tradition, and how they work together. Each one is selected with intention; to complement the honey, taste good, and nourish you one spoonful at a time.
Choosing a blend
What's the difference?
Each BeeYumi blend begins with the same foundation of raw Tasmanian Leatherwood honey, but features its own thoughtfully selected combination of herbs, mushrooms, berries, spices and botanicals. Every blend is crafted with a different wellness focus, creating its own unique flavour, ingredient profile and daily ritual. Whether you're looking for immunity support, everyday nourishment, a grounding cacao ritual or beauty from within, there's a BeeYumi blend for you.
How do I choose the right one?
Whether you're drawn to the warming spices of Golden Immunity, the vibrant berries of Berry Bliss, the rich cacao of Cacao Balance or the gentle sweetness of Vanilla Beauty, each blend offers a unique combination of ingredients and a different daily ritual. Choose the one that best fits your taste, your goals and the moments you want to enjoy it. If you're not sure where to start, take our BeeYumi Quiz and we'll help you find your perfect match.
Can I rotate between blends?
YES, absolutely! They’re food-based, so it simply comes down to your preference and how you like to use them throughout the day.
Using BeeYumi
How do I use it?
Enjoy it straight off the spoon or add it to your favourite foods, honestly you can eat it anyway you like, it's that yumi! Drizzled over a bowl of food or freshly baked goods, mixed into your salad dressing, spread on toast, mixed into teas and drinks. You name it!
Can I take it daily?
Yes, it’s designed to be a simple, nourishing addition to your everyday diet.
Can I add it to hot / cold drinks and food?
BeeYumi is wonderfully versatile and can be enjoyed in cold, warm food and drinks. Whether stirred into tea or coffee, drizzled over yoghurt or porridge, blended into smoothies or enjoyed straight from the spoon, it's delicious either way. Just remember that higher temperatures will reduce the delicate enzymes and compounds found in raw honey.
Storage & shelf life
How should I store it?
Store your jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A pantry or cupboard is perfect.
What's the shelf life?
Honey doesn't spoil. In fact, it has been valued for centuries as a natural preservative. Archaeologists have even discovered jars of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs over 3,000 years old that remained remarkably well preserved. We include a best before date on each jar, but when stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the lid sealed, honey can be enjoyed for a very long time.
Can it go hard or crystallise?
Yes, this is completely natural and a sign of real, unprocessed honey. Raw honey naturally crystallises over time due to its natural sugars, especially in cooler temperatures or if refrigerated. It doesn’t affect the quality or benefits at all... in fact, it’s often a marker of purity. To soften it, simply place the jar in a bowl of warm (not hot) water and gently bring it back to your desired consistency. Note: this will note affect the label.
What if the texture changes?
You may notice some natural settling of ingredients over time. Just give the jar a stir, it’s all part of using real, whole food ingredients.
Safety
Allergens: Can I react to this?
As with any food, allergic reactions are individual. BeeYumi is made with raw Tasmanian Leatherwood honey and a variety of herbs, mushrooms, berries, spices, botanicals and other whole-food ingredients. If you have known allergies or sensitivities, we recommend carefully reviewing the ingredient list before enjoying a blend. If you're unsure whether BeeYumi is suitable for you, please consult your healthcare practitioner.
Is it safe for kids?
According to Australian food safety guidelines, honey is not recommended for children under 12 months of age.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Honey is generally considered safe to consume during pregnancy and breastfeeding as it is a natural food. Our blends are made from real, whole food ingredients, however if you have specific sensitivities or concerns, we recommend checking the ingredient list and speaking with your healthcare practitioner.
