What’s it all about?
Did you know there are over 13,000 beekeepers in Victoria? The majority of these are recreational bee keepers running 1 or 2 hives enjoying the pollination, honey and wax that their girls create.
You can keep bees in your backyard* but it’s best to be fully aware of what you are taking on before you start.
Come and join Jen – an urban beekeeper – to run you through the ins and outs of keeping bees in suburban settings.
