Our Bee Programs
At The Werombee Hive, our bee programs invite you to step right up to the hive and discover the extraordinary world happening inside it. Guided by our resident beekeeper, Stu The Werombee Man, every experience is hands-on, safe, and buzzing with wonder — whether you're a curious little one suiting up for the very first time, a homeschool or holiday group learning where honey really comes from, or an adult ready to keep bees of your own.
From Little Beekeeper Experiences to one-on-one workshops, each program is a chance to meet the queen, watch the workers at their craft, and taste honey fresh from the frame. Explore what's on below and find the perfect way to get closer to the bees.
