Love honey? Fascinated by bees and their lifecycle? Join us for a one-hour
tour of our beautiful Honey Farm on the grounds of a historic National Trust
mansion in Bowral, followed by a guided honey tasting and morning tea.
We start with a tour alongside the hives: wearing a head veil, you'll be able
to safely observe the activities of the bees and hear about their remarkable
lifecycle. The talk continues with a demonstration showing an (empty!) Flow
Hive and the workings a modern hive.
You'll hear about the remarkable lives of these at-risk pollinators and gain
an understanding of their behaviours.
We then move to our beautiful terrace looking out across the dam and rolling
hills for a guided honey tasting where you will taste 6x different floral
source honeys, each with it's own distinctive appearance, aroma, viscosity,
mouth texture and taste.
All of this complemented by a morning tea of fresh sourdough and leaf tea or
plunger coffee.
This is a great activity for family groups, and visitors to the Southern
Highlands.
Our apiary is on the grounds of Retford Park, a beautiful historic property a
5x minute drive from Bowral main street. We also have honey available after
the visit.
Thanks for your interest in meeting my bees! I look forward to having you
along and sharing my enthusiasm for these unique pollinators.
The system will send you all the details, but the workshop is at my apiary in
Bowral.
The address is 1325 Old South Road Bowral NSW 2576. We're on the grounds of
Retford Park, a National Trust property.
Enter through white main gates on Old South Rd and continue until you see our
signs and hives (it's a LONG driveway!). Park in the gravelled area as
directed by signage.
This is an outdoors activity, remember to wear appropriate clothing, sun
protection etc.
I have hives undercover so we will be able to proceed despite any poor
weather.
