Jarrah & Red Gum Honey: Singapore’s Premium Antibacterial Superfood
Introduction
Hi there, I'm Chris — a Singaporean with over 10 years of beekeeping experience in Western Australia. At Bee Bee Natural, I’m passionate about sharing nature’s most powerful healing gifts. Honey’s medicinal reputation is well-deserved and my Jarrah and Red Gum honeys exemplify this. Each batch of our honey is raw, unpasteurised, and lab-tested, preserving all the natural enzymes and antioxidants. Most importantly, both our Jarrah and Red Gum honeys boast exceptionally high Total Activity (TA) ratings: TA 63 for Jarrah and TA 55 for Red Gum. These values put them among the strongest antibacterial honeys in the world.
What is Total Activity (TA) and Why It Matters
Total Activity (TA) is a measure of a honey’s total antibacterial strength. Think of it as a “bacteria-killing score”: the higher the TA, the more effective the honey is at inhibiting harmful microbes. TA combines two sources of antimicrobial action: peroxide activity (hydrogen peroxide generated by the enzyme glucose oxidase) and non-peroxide activity (plant-derived compounds like flavonoids). Even a TA above 10 means noticeable antibacterial effects. By contrast, TA 63 and 55 are off the charts — they translate into powerful antimicrobial support far beyond ordinary table honey.
Jarrah Honey (TA 63): Potent Antibacterial & Antioxidant
Jarrah honey comes from the Jarrah tree (Eucalyptus marginata), a giant hardwood native to southwest Western Australia. My Jarrah honey is lab-certified at TA 63, an incredibly high rating. This exceptional TA means Jarrah honey generates a steady, low-level stream of hydrogen peroxide when diluted — enough to kill bacteria but gentle on human tissue. Scientific studies back its strength: Jarrah honey has achieved MICs (minimum inhibitory concentrations) as low as 8–32% (w/v) against harmful bacteria. In fact, one research team reported that Jarrah and Marri (Red Gum) honeys “have exceptional levels of hydrogen peroxide-dependent activity”. These strong antimicrobial and antioxidant properties make Jarrah honey a true superfood for health and wellness.
Red Gum Honey (TA 55): Natural Immune Booster
Red Gum honey comes from the Red Gum tree, also known as the Marri tree. Unlike Jarrah’s erratic blooming cycle, Red Gum trees flower reliably every year, giving a consistent honey harvest. Our small-batch test showed this Red Gum honey to be TA 55, making it one of the most potent honeys around. This high TA reflects strong peroxide-driven antibacterial power plus a unique blend of beneficial compounds from the blossoms. Red Gum honey also contains natural eucalyptus-like aromas and nutrients traditionally used to soothe throats and support respiratory health. Enjoying Red Gum honey daily is a simple way to give your body a gentle, nutrient-rich wellness boost.
Honey for Immune Support and Flu Relief
Both Jarrah and Red Gum honeys shine as natural remedies for coughs, sore throats, and general wellness. Honey’s broad-spectrum antimicrobial power and soothing effects are well documented. For example, the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) notes that a warm lemon-and-honey drink can be as effective as an over-the-counter cough medicine. In practice, this means a daily spoonful of high-TA honey like Jarrah or Red Gum can help calm a scratchy throat, ease coughing, and support your body’s defenses during cold season. These honeys also contain natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which can help reduce throat irritation and promote healing.

I take pride in delivering honey of uncompromising quality. My Jarrah and Red Gum honeys are 100% pure, unheated, and additive-free.
