Seventy to eighty per cent of honey produced is from native flora, especially eucalypts growing on public, crown leasehold and freehold land. Australia produces about 26,000 tonnes of honey per year with an estimated gross value of production of about $37 million.

Domestic consumption is approximately 15,000 tonnes per year and the remainder is exported in prepack and bulk form, making Australia the world's fourth largest exporter of honey. In 1994-95 the gross value of production, including queen and package bees, beeswax, pollen and pollination, was $55 million.

In addition, the value of pollination to the Australian economy has been estimated at between $604 million and $1.2 billion.
