Community Bee Keeping Workshops Underway

Blessings of the Bees, Venus Bay Honey, presents Community Bee Keeping at Tarwin Lower Community Health Centre.

Thank you to Bald Hills Wind farm’s grant we were able to buy all the equipment for the Community Bees Keeping project. Thank you to Tarwin Lower Community Health Centre for supporting and hosting the project! This is where the workshops are taking place and our bees are housed.

Over the summer, apiarist Amanda Diamond will run a four part Community Bee Keeping course, the first of its kind in Gippsland. It is kept to a minimal cost and everyone is welcome to come along for one or all workshops.

Prior to the workshops Amanda has been working with the Venus Bay Mens’ Shed to build hive components, and to commission a glass viewing hive which will be great for future public displays, such as in local schools and farmers markets, and for our use in the workshops.
