Learn about Bees and Beekeeping

Have you ever wanted to learn more about Bees and Beekeeping?

After this month’s Food Swap, we are lucky to have Jude Porteous from Ballarat Regional Beekeepers joining us to tell us all about bees. Jude lives here in our region so she has great knowledge about beekeeping in our local environment.

Bees play an indispensable role as nature’s primary pollinators, directly enabling the reproduction of roughly one-third of the food crops humans consume daily, including fruits, nuts, and vegetables, while sustaining the surrounding ecosystems. By practicing beekeeping, individuals and communities actively support declining pollinator populations and enhance local biodiversity and garden yields. Beyond environmental stewardship, managing hives yields valuable natural rewards such as raw honey, beeswax, and propolis, while encouraging a mindful, rewarding connection to the natural cycles of the environment.

This FREE and friendly chat will start at 11.30am THIS FRIDAY 31st of July (straight after the monthly food swap), and go for around 45 minutes with plenty of time for discussion and questions.

Come and join us at The Haddon CLC 🙂
