our bees
What's in a name?
Our bees have names! Each hive has a story: there's the Fish Tail colony, which came from a community garden near the Bondi shoreline, while the 'Geoff' swarm was named after a long-time member of the Illawarra Bee Club! Each colony has its own characteristics – like any family – but they are typically non-aggressive thanks to our policy of keeping beehives with placid genes.
