Beekeeping workshop with The Urban Beehive

Join beekeepers Vicky Brown and Doug Purdie from The Urban Beehive for an introduction to beekeeping. The program begins with a tour of the recently revitalised Vaucluse House kitchen garden, where our resident horticulturist, Anita Rayner, will guide you in selecting the best plants to encourage pollinators.

Vicky and Doug will then introduce you to the Vaucluse House hives and demonstrate how they care for these special residents. Watch honey being spun in a honey extractor, roll your own beeswax candle to take home and take part in a guided honey-tasting workshop in the garden.
