Continuing on from where they left off against the Grafton Redmen, the Bees travelled to Kyogle to face the Cockies and won there as well.
The 24-15 marked the Bees' fourth win on the trot and coach Phil Jones was rapt with all areas of his side's performance.
"We matched them everywhere, really stuck it to them in the forwards, won two or three tight-heads, our scrum was dominant, our line-outs were good," he said.
"Our backs probably had their best game for the season. Jack Thomas at halfback really controlled the game and got the backs on the front foot.
"Also in the backs, Matt Krahe had a really strong game.
"I couldn't really pick any standout forwards, they were all really strong."
The Bees are back at home this Saturday and will have to rise up another level as they face the reigning premiers Yamba.
Injuries are still playing havoc with the Bees but Jones believes they are still strong and once everyone is back on deck, they will be a force to be reckoned with.
"We have still got a couple of key positions where we have got blokes injured," he said.
"We have just got to step up a notch.
"I reckon we have a team that could go all the way but just injuries will cost us."
Yamba are sitting on top of the Far North Coast President's Cup table and will prove a task for the Bees to topple.
Tenterfield came within a whisker of beating them the last time they faced off but Jones said they will have to be even better this time around.
"We will have to be on the boil there pretty well, I don't think they have been beaten," he said.
"They are the premiers but the last time we had them up here they beat us 17-15, a couple of decisions didn't go our way. We are playing better but no doubt they probably are too."
