These days make me so happy! Children excited and learning about native bees today and making their own native bee and bee to take home. They tasted some sugar bag honey from our Native hive too! #
Then finishing the day with a community swarm catch! Ahhhh the serenity!
Ever grateful for the support of our community! 🫶🐝
PS get a hold of this amazing book by Brisbane author @megandaleybooks for more native been learning!

{{HIVE IQ + BEES WINTER WAKE UP}}………At the end of Autumn we received this amazing gift from @hiveiq. An 8 frame hive- complete with supers, base, queen excluder and insulated lid. I’m the first to admit, I’m hopeless with flat packs, but this cool hive, clicked together without too much fuss. I gave it a lick of paint and Miss 12 added some yellow highlights to match the lid colour- super easy!! …………..I’ve been keen to get the bees in and see how the extra insulation works for the bees. With spring in the air, I decided today was the day! I’ve got to say, these boxes are so easy to lift and cart around and with all the hardware made to click together there was no sliding boxes. Also knowing I won’t have to repaint and replace decaying boxes is life changing!!!! THE best feature of @hiveiq is that it’s an #australianowned business based in Canberra. They are really innovating beekeeping, with their unique design and innovative ideas. Highly recommend you check out their products online Www.hiveiq.com.au……… So keen to see how these hives stand up to our hot summers and cold winters!! Big thanks to Zavier for reaching out and allowing us to feature one of their @hiveiq hives in our apiary! ………..Ps. The bees were even generous enough to make some extra honeycomb over winter, we’ll have it stocked online soon! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝………….. #sponsored #Australian #supportlocal #australianbees
{{HONEY HARVEST}} Checking the health of the hives today and a honey harvest. I always make sure I only take a small amount from each hive- BEES FIRST, us second. The girls have been working the lavender and we have some beautiful honey to spin, which means we’ll have HONEY IN STORE THIS SUNDAY! #honey #beesofinstagram🐝 #beekeeper #apiarist #toowoombafood #rawhoney #naturalhoney #toowoombalocal #toowoombaregion #toowoomba #toowoombaliving #sqcountry
🐝🐝{{WHAT A BUZZ}}🐝🐝
We held our very first Children's Honey Harvest Experience today. Children from ages 4-13 attended and we had the most wonderful time! I think the children's words confirm their enjoyment!
Sofia
"I loved looking at the honeycomb, with pollen amongst it!
Oliver
"I found out boy bees don't sting"
Audrey
" My favourite part was eating the honey we harvested at the end, I tried eating the wax for the first time"
Oscar
"My favourite part was all of it!!!"
Stirling
"I liked smoking the bees and I held the heavy frame "
More dates are now available in our online store! Hope to see you soon! 🐝🐝
