About this tour
Spend an hour learning how beekeepers work with hives on the grounds of a heritage property in Australia. You'll don protective gear, walk through the apiary, and taste several honey varieties whilst relaxing on the terrace with morning tea, taking in views across the lake and surrounding countryside. A hands-on introduction to beekeeping without the sting.
Highlights
- Put on a beekeeper's veil and approach active hives
- Taste single-origin and blended honeys from the farm
- Morning tea served on the terrace overlooking the lake
- Heritage property grounds with rolling hill views
- Learn how bees are managed throughout the seasons
What to expect
After a brief safety chat, you'll put on the veil and walk out to the hives with your guide, who'll explain what you're seeing: the bees' behaviour, the structure of a colony, and how honey is harvested. It's calm and surprisingly unhurried. Back inside, you'll taste different honeys—varietal and seasonal offerings—with morning tea. The terrace sits high enough that you get proper views across the property. Expect to be on your feet for most of the hour, though there's seating during the tasting.
Good to know
Fully wheelchair accessible including the terrace. Prams and strollers welcome. Not suitable if you have a bee allergy. Service animals permitted. Wear closed shoes and avoid loose clothing that might flap near the hives.
