A unique Bee Experience that will have your children buzzing for days… Bring the kids along to our 1.5 hour engaging and educational workshop which will open young minds up to the importance of bees.

And of course, they will get to taste some honey straight from one of Burnett’s hives.

Next Session Feb 2025 - Announced Soon
LET’S TALK ABOUT VARROA! Varroa Mite is here! Time to take action!
There is an increasing level of industry feedback coming in about the emerging Varroa situation in NSW. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR BEES ALIVE, YOU NEED TO BE READY TODAY!
We are all in this together, entering a new phase of beekeeping. The more we share and support each other, the more resilient we will all be getting through this initial tough stage. If you haven’t been able to attend the NSW DPI’s full-day Varroa Mite Training or can’t get to the Illawarra or Shoalhaven Beekeepers Club Meetings, this LIVE ONLINE MEETING is a chance for you to chat with other beekeepers and an experienced Beekeeper & Educator Benjamin Durie from @humblehivecollective with his first-hand experiences dealing with Varroa Mite in his hives RIGHT NOW in the Hunter Valley.
This will be an interactive, non-judgemental, respectful session where we can ALL be mindful of the fact that NONE of us have dealt with this threat before in Australia. So we are ALL learning and here to support one another. WE CAN DO THIS!
