About us - a brief history of the Olley's operation
Olley's Honey was established in 1956 in Oxley, Queensland under the sole proprietorship of Ken Olley. The business currently runs 3000 - 4000 bee colonies and 10,000 nucleus hives and is the largest such operation in Queensland.
Formerly a major supplier to and shareholder of an Australian honey packer, Olley's is now an exporter in its own right.
Proprietor Ken Olley can be considered a Father of Modern Beekeeping. He has made tremendous achievements in the industry, including the following:
- Invention of the Split Boom Loader in 1960 (won several awards during the APIMONDIA held in Adelaide)
- Invention of the "uncapping machine" using a chain over system with horizontal bars in 1965
- Pioneered the use of palletised beehives in 1975
- Invention of "special supplementary feed" in 1980
- Invention of the ultra-light "Olley Beenet" to cover the trucks during bee migration
- Design of the the light and less cumbersome "Olley Bee Veil"
- Invention of "Olley Smoker Safety Box" during the millennium
- In the year 2002, Ken was one of the 10 finalists of "Queensland's Regional Achievement Award"
- Recipient of "Clifton's Achiever" of the Year in 2003
- Currently working on tackling the debilitating bee disease, Nosema apis.
