If you’re wandering down the Gallery Walk, make sure you duck into Funny Honey. It’s one of those spots that turns a quick browse into a long chat and an armful of jars. This sweet little store is run by Matthew Henderson, who went from digging drainage trenches to tending bees after Manuka honey helped him fix a stubborn stomach problem. One thing led to another and now he’s got hives dotted all around Tamborine Mountain and beyond, producing some of the purest raw honey you’ll find.
Inside, it’s a showcase of what local bees can do. There’s rainforest honey from the mountain, macadamia honey from Byron Bay and rare batches of fruit blossom honey that pick up the true flavour of the orchards they’re pollinating. No added flavours, just nature doing its thing. And if you think crystallised honey means something’s wrong, Matthew will set you straight because it’s actually proof you’re buying the real deal.
Funny Honey is also a local go-to for genuine Australian Manuka, which regulars swear by for everything from immune support to soothing stomach issues. Next time you’re up the mountain, pop in for a taste and make you’re day on the Gallery Walk extra sweet.
