Honey Farm Tour and Honey Tasting
Duration:
Operated By:
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.
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 main gates and continue until you see our signs and hives. 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.
