? Beekeeper for a Day: Hive Tour & Honey Tasting Experience

Step into the fascinating world of bees with this immersive hands-on
experience at a working honey farm, set in the scenic Southern Highlands. Your
host is a passionate beekeeper who’ll guide you through a fun and informative
journey into the life of the hive.

We begin on the farm’s sunny terrace with a curated honey tasting featuring up
to six unique varieties. You’ll learn how flavour, colour, and texture reflect
the flowers the bees have foraged—from bushland blossoms to garden blooms—each
drop telling a floral story.

Enjoy fresh sourdough alongside plunger-brewed coffee and tea as your guide
shares insights into bee biology, the colony lifecycle, and their vital role
in pollination and food production.

Then it’s time to suit up in a professional full-body beekeeping suit (gloves
included!) and head to the hives. You’ll open an active hive, hold a frame
covered in bees, and witness the queen’s court in action—if we’re lucky, we’ll
spot “Liz”, the queen herself!

You’ll also see a Flow Hive in action and learn how beekeepers check for hive
health, brood patterns, and honey stores in a safe and careful way.

This is the perfect introduction for curious minds, nature lovers, and anyone
wanting to connect with bees and the landscape in a meaningful way. If you're
interested in starting your own hive, ask us about our longer workshops.
