GUIDED BEEHIVE TOUR EXPERIENCE
Become A Beekeeper For A Day
This is not a farm visit where you stand behind a fence and watch from a distance.
On our guided beehive tour, you’ll suit up in protective beekeeping gear, light a bee smoker, and step into the fascinating, organised chaos of a real working beehive.
Held at the beautiful Rivers of Yarrambat, a garden and wellness centre just 45 minutes north-east of Melbourne’s CBD, this is a rare chance to experience beekeeping in one of Victoria’s most peaceful outdoor settings.
Led by Nathan Stewart, a Doreen-based beekeeper, this hands-on experience gives you a genuine look inside the world of honey bees. You’ll learn how a colony works, what the bees are doing inside the hive, how honey is made, and why these tiny creatures matter so much to our gardens, farms and food supply.
It’s calm, safe, surprising and genuinely unforgettable.
Tours run throughout Spring, Summer and early Autumn only. They are unique, very popular, and bookings are essential. Most sessions sell out well in advance, so it’s worth booking early if you’d like to join us.
Perfect for curious adults, families, nature lovers, garden lovers, and anyone who wants to experience something completely different.
