After all, you're never too old to be curious about bees!
Weather & Bee Welfare Clause
As we are working with live bees, all hive activities are weather-dependent. If conditions aren't suitable for opening the hives, we'll work with you to arrange another suitable date.
The welfare of our bee girlfriends – and the safety and enjoyment of our visitors – always comes first.
This experience involves close interaction with live bees in a working hive environment. Safety is our top priority, and you will be provided with all necessary protective equipment, including child-sized protective bee suits. A parent or responsible adult must accompany all children at all times during the session. Stuart will guide you through each step to ensure a comfortable and safe experience. We encourage calm and curious behaviour around the hive to keep both our young beekeepers and our bees safe and happy! While we make every effort to ensure the bees are calm and manageable, participants should feel comfortable working with live insects. No prior beekeeping experience is required, but an interest in nature and sustainability will enhance your experience.
About Stuart
Nestled in the peaceful landscapes of Theresa Park, NSW, Stuart has spent the past ten years building his farm and his passion for beekeeping. As an experienced apiarist, he’s constantly learning and dedicated to sharing his knowledge with others.
Stuart’s interest in bees started a decade ago, and since then, he’s focused on perfecting his beekeeping skills. He’s especially experienced in managing bee diseases, handling swarms, and running an apiary.
