23.01.2022 Lifting the lid of 40,000 Bees What a great experience it is watching everyone’s first reactions to opening a beehive. It always starts with some nervous excitement and then usually bewilderment, as together we slowly move through each section of the hive and get up close to nearly 40,000 bees. This photo was taken during our recent beekeeping workshop, where three bee-friendly humans came along for a hands on experience with a happy colony of honeybees. ... The queen and her worker bees were all on their best behaviour and provided a fantastic first experience for everyone involved. Please contact our Facebook page or Instagram if you’d like to come along for this unique and educational experience. #beekeeping #workshop #unique #experience #wildlife #bees #honeybees #torquay #anglesea #geelong #janjuc #surfcoastshire #memorablemoments #educational #localhoney #supportlocal

20.01.2022 Coastal Nectar - Opening up an Active HIVE - Live Video

19.01.2022 Sunflower Therapy I regularly support two incredible brothers to help them access nature, try new things and spend more time outside. They are both on the spectrum and at times it’s hard finding their full engagement. Two months ago I brought along some bee-friendly flower seeds and helped them to transform their backyard with a bee-friendly flower garden. ... It’s been truly heart warming seeing these guys take a big interest in caring for the flowers, which is a combination of sunflowers, nasturtiums, calendula and borage. The flowers are now fully developed and there’s heaps of bees foraging in their backyard, inspiring further curiosities and adding to their whole experience. Gardening is a great quiet and calming activity for everyone and it’s a pretty awesome thing to do to help the bees at the same time. #savethebees #sunflower #naturetherapy #honeybees #beefriendly #beefriendlygarden #pollen #nectar #geelongflowers #wild #innaturewearefree #bees #geelong #surfcoast #support #gardening #calmingthemind

18.01.2022 Honeybees and humans have worked together for over 9000 years. A symbiotic relationship of hive health, pollination, honey and beeswax As honey never spoils, edible honey was found in the Egyptian tomb of King Tutankhamen. Longstanding golden elixir! I like to think King Tut comes from a family of honey addicts, just like me. Regarding honey, it’s very important to source from local beekeepers. Beekeepers who work passionately to increase bee numbers locally and produc...e a pure and unadulterated honey. : Thanks to @jimmy__mitch and @plant__hands for their filming efforts on this clip. #egyptian #honey #pharoah #shoplocal #surfcoast #surfcoastshire #torquay #anglesea #beekeeping #honeybees #symbioticrelationship #kingtut #pollination #savethebees #egyptianhoneyaddicts

11.01.2022 How fresh do you want it... This small batch honey comes from happy bees that call the Surfcoast region and this coastline home. This honey is raw, cold filtered and contains medicinal nectar, wax and pollen particles from a huge range of flowering plants and trees. ... Specifically to this jar, you’re tasting the dark and rich flavour of summertime Freshwater Creek. I’m so excited to drop this honey off to all our patient honey loving kickstarter supporters We’ll be soon announcing a honey drop for anyone else craving a jar of golden goodness. Can’t wait to try this on a slice of @zeallybaysourdough #honeybees #honeyinajar #goldengoodness #rawhoney #smallbatch #coldfiltered #nectar #wax #pollen #localhoney #freshwatercreek #surfcoast #torquay #anglesea #honeybee #honeyharvest #kendallshand #floweringgums #honeytime

10.01.2022 Harvest Day Last week we harvested excess stores of honey from these hard working bees. We do this to make sure there is enough room in the hive and to leave enough honey available so there’s always a food source.... It took close to 10 hours made up of visiting different hive sites, safely brushing bees off frames, setting up the honey extractor, whipping out the honey, cleaning all the equipment and returning boxes to the bees. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to watch these bees flourish throughout the year on many different nectar sources. Even seeing the different unique colours of the honey between hive sites. You can see how the day unfolded under our Instagram story highlights ‘honey’.

06.01.2022 Summertime Flowering Natives One of our favourites is this Red Flowering Gum, with its prolific fiery red flowers and dark green leaves. The bees go crazy for this tree, buzzing around many of the nectar loving birds and sharing pollen from flower to flower.... You’re very lucky if you have one of these growing in your street or backyard. #redfloweringgum #fieryred #nectar #flowerpower #natives #honeybee #nativebee #wild #flowersofinstagram #surfcoast #torquay #anglesea #pollen #nectar #loving #birds #bees #gumtrees
