An extract an from article that will feature Tim in this October Swill Mag's first edition.

'At the edge of the escarpment, hundreds of metres up from the valley floor and the base of the cliff wall, through heath and scrub and scribbly bark, Tim Malfroy’s bees hum quietly in eight small hives.'

'Gildas is “not 100 per cent a bar, not 100 per cent a restaurant”, he says. It’s designed to be complementary to Firedoor around the corner, offering pre- and post-dinner drinks, while standing on its own as a destination.'

'These are the premium ingredients you won’t find on supermarket shelves, from farm-fresh fruit and vegetables to prime cuts of wagyu and hard-to-procure items like Malfroy’s Gold honey.'

'If you've tried Malfroys Gold wild honey - particularly the recent Post Brood variety - then you'll understand what we mean when we say that seeing the hives in the landscape and listening to Tim explain his bee keeping philosophy made perfect sense. Malfroys Gold honey is quite simply a pure and intense expression of place and practice.'

'Hive: Post Brood is A collaboration with our friends, and honey superstars Tim and Emma from Malfroy’s Gold honey, Hive: Post Brood is a barrel aged golden Australian Wild Ale refermented with natural formed Warré hive post-brood wild comb from the Blue Mountains and Central Tablelands of NSW. The Malfroy's Post Brood Polyflora is unlike any honey I have ever tasted and indeed a unique product.'

'If we want to give our bees the best chance at survival now and far into the future, we need to think about the effects that our everyday actions have on the nation's primary pollinators...The next time you're outside in the garden and you pick up that spray.Please think about the bees.'

'There’s this chap I know called Tim Malfroy who is a 2nd generation bee keeper and this artwork is a portrait of some of his giant bee hives. Tim lives out west – way past our place and has his bee hives set up all over the place. He uses these crazy looking warre hives and employs an old fashioned, gentle and natural beekeeping method.'

Tim was invited to speak at this event which featured our honey produce on the menu

'It was a remarkable night and these were 3 remarkable farmers, true artisans at heart with the strongest commitment you can imagine to their produce, the environment and the future. Behind their passion we discovered several generations of sweat, resiliance and knowledge.'

'We’re completely hooked on the idea of adding bees to our Permaculture garden after another extraordinary weekend learning all about natural beekeeping with Tim Malfroy...Lucky for us we got to taste what we unanimously agreed was the best honey we’d ever eaten, straight from the comb. It was simply amazing.'

'So when I heard about the natural bee keeping course that went against traditional methods and, instead, adopted an approach more in line with the innate habits of bees themselves, I had to see it for myself. Pictures of bees being handled without masses of protective gear inspired me … natural, organic methods and not-so-cranky bees!'

'Woodcut' launches in Crown, Sydney, December 2020!

'The stand out on the board was the mountain of Malfroy's Gold honeycomb with roasted hazelnuts from Mudgee, NSW.'

'I was lucky enough to...attend a natural beekeeping course run by Tim Malfroy of Malfroy’s Gold, which was based on the Warré system. ...Tim is one of few commercial Warré hive apiarists in Australia. I found the course to be interesting and practical and without attending it I feel that I wouldn’t hold the skills or confidence to give ‘natural’ beekeeping a go.'

Malfroy's Gold included in special book launch collection (blog has since been removed)

'Originally conceived as a artisanal wine festival in 2013, the 2015 event has expanded to celebrate chefs, producers, food makers, coffee, beer, sake and indigenous culinary culture.'

'Two weeks ago I headed up to Sydney to attend a course on Natural Beekeeping run by Milkwood Permaculture and taught by Tim Malfroy of Malfroy’s Gold. ...I mean, when someone makes honey that good, you know they’re going to teach you something special, right?'

'I attended a Warré beekeeping course in Sydney run by second-generation professional apiarist Tim Malfroy. ...I had read about the Warré beekeeping method and wanted to learn more. It was worth the trip.'

'One of my scouts ran home to tell me he’d found a swarm of bees this weekend. They were spotted flying in and out of the small hole in the concrete block that covers a Telstra access point in the footpath...The excitement I felt this time last year when my first hive was delivered is nothing to how I feel having caught this swarm myself! I hope their new home suits them and that the weather is kind and helps them get established quickly.'

'...two-day course in natural beekeeping with master bee-keeper (warré hive extraordinare) Tim Malfroy. It was a wonderfully inspiring and informative course...I came away with a desire not so much to “keep bees” as to learn alongside them.'

'Tim taught us about “natural” beekeeping, which is much more in tune with the needs and desires of the bees. Keeping the bees in a Warre Hive, they are able to grow their own honeycomb, at their own pace.'

Malfroy's Gold products were selected as prizes for Menu for Hope, a global raffle to raise money for the United Nations World Food Program.

' I was the lucky winner of three gorgeous jars of honey and a gooey honeycomb from Malfroy's Gold in Australia. This honey is made from eucalyptus and has a distinctive caramel flavor. In one word: addictive.'
