What To Expect
Love honey? Fascinated by bees & 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 & 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 & 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.
