Bee Sanctuary

Call a swarm into your space, connect with the bees, pollinate plants and harvest your own honey. We provide you with the knowledge to care for the bees along with seasonal bee services.


We focus on integrating natural beekeeping principles to ensure optimal bee health, community biodiversity and local food production.

1. Meet the bees

We work with two species: Apis Mellifera (Honey Bee) and Tetragonula Carbonaria (Sugarbag Bee). The diversity and abundance of floral resources in most Australian ecosystems gives both species plenty of resources to thrive together.

2. Select your nesting box or log
