Bee Grateful for Bees — A Morning Tea with Meaning

Some events are just events. And then there are the ones that mean something a little more.

Our World Bee Day Morning Tea on Wednesday 20 May is one of those.

May 20 would have been our beautiful son Rodney's birthday. We lost Rodney at just 15 years old to an asthma attack — and this day has always carried a particular weight in our hearts. This year, rather than letting it pass quietly, we decided to open the gates and do something with it. Something gentle. Something that gives back.

So we're inviting you to come and share a morning with us.

It won't be a big, busy event. That's not what this is. It's a slow morning tea here on the farm, with good food, warm company, and Stuart talking about the bees he loves — the tiny creatures that quietly sustain so much of the world around us. There'll be a seed packet to take home, and plenty of unhurried time to simply be.

All money raised on the day will be donated to the Asthma Foundation, in Rodney's memory. For those who can't make it in person, a donation link will also be available — and every contribution means more than we can say.

For me personally, this year feels even more significant. I was recently diagnosed with asthma myself, and it's brought everything a little closer to the surface. It's reminded me how deeply connected we are — to our health, to each other, and to the natural world that supports us all. The bees are part of that. Rodney is part of that. This morning is part of that.
