Little Beekeepers Experience

A buzzing adventure just for kids at The Werombee Hive!

Calling all curious minds and brave little adventurers! Our Little Beekeepers Experience is a fun and hands-on journey into the magical world of bees, perfect for children aged 5 to 12.

Under the gentle guidance of The Werombee Man (our resident beekeeper and bee whisperer), kids will:

  • Suit up in real beekeeping gear

  • Meet the “bee girlfriends” up close in our hives

  • Learn how honey is made—from flower to jar

  • Try their hand at using a smoker and spotting the queen

  • Taste a sweet spoonful of fresh, golden honey straight from the hive!

It’s a safe, exciting, and educational experience designed to spark wonder, build confidence, and create sticky, happy memories.

Perfect for nature lovers, birthday outings, homeschoolers, or just a buzzing good day out on the farm.

Bookings essential. Adult supervision required.

Please Note:

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.
