Bee Incursions and Community Engagement
Backyard Honey's bee incursions provide safe real-life opportunities for clients of all ages to explore life in a honeybee colony, watch live bees at work , taste raw honeys, hear the buzz, handle apiary tools and talk to the beekeepers.
The option to include live bees, in our fully enclosed perspex beehive, brings the presentations to life.
Schools & Kinders
Inspire learning by stimulating awe and curiosity
The Backyard Honey beekeepers deliver onsite and virtual incursions tailored with teachers to support specific Preschool, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary curriculum learning outcomes.

Watch life inside a healthy live hive, spot the Queen, see bees hatching, and discover how bees produce honey, pollen, nectar, and propolis. Hear the buzz, smell the hive, taste raw honey straight from the source, feel natural beeswax, and chat with a real beekeeper while exploring authentic beekeeping tools and equipment.
