Logan honey producers buoyed by recent rain

That's the view of local honey producers who are buoyed by the significant falls across south-east Queensland.

Bee All Natural owners Jason and Natasha Roebig were the victims of a catastrophic season which had decimated honey production.

The couple say their stocks were down 95 per cent, as bushfires and drought took their toll on the fauna the bees feed off.

It also severely impacted the Roebigs' hive numbers, with the couple down to 135 from the usual 200.

The forecast has improved, but Mr Roebig said the industry was not out of the woods yet.

"Long term, it is showing a bit more promise," he said.

"But if you had have asked me that a few months ago, it was a different story.

"But we would need rain like we've had every second week."

He said any more pain could have spelt disaster for the industry in Australia.

"If we had have had another bad season, it would not have just been us, it would have been the Australian honey industry," Mr Roebig said.

The surging prices of brands like Capilano were sure signs production was down.

The Roebigs are quickly running out of surplus stock produced in past prolific seasons.

They are not the only ones hurting at the moment.

"There are a lot of beekeepers out there suffering right now," Mr Roebig said.

"Relying on past seasons to get them through."

It can all change for them if favourable conditions continue into the next season.

"It's all about balance. Too much rain is not good, and not enough is not good either," Mr Roebig said.

The couple fell into honey production by accident. They were searching for a natural treatment for daughter Miranda's chronic eczema in 2012, when they found out about natural honey's soothing powers.

They are now passionate about helping local beekeepers produce honey in a sustainable manner.

"It's a growing hobby industry," Mr Roebig said.

"More and more people are keeping hives in their yards.

"We want to make sure they are doing the right thing."
