What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We're on the grounds of Retford Park, a National Trust property. Enter through the big white main gates and continue until you see our yellow signs and hives. Park in the gravelled area as directed by signage.
What to expect
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.
