Do you love honey and bees? Bowral Beekeeping are a working apiary in the Southern Highlands; every weekend they open a simple farm gate honey stall where you can taste their whole range of honey and see the hives from a safe distance!. The colour, viscosity, texture, aroma, and of course taste is all dependent on the flowers the bees collected the nectar from. You will be amazed at the differences. Entry is free.
They also run regular workshops where you can learn about bees, have a morning tea, then get into a bee suit to open a hive.
