Honey & Hive. Open a hive, honey tasting with morning tea

? 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.
