Sweet like Honey: Masterclass in creating bee friendly environments


There’s more to a jar of honey than just its sweetness. 

Join Parliament House’s volunteer head beekeeper, Cormac Farrell, for a masterclass exploring how a region’s diverse botanical sources create unique flavours in honey. 

Discover how to integrate bees into landscape design through native and exotic plant selection and learn how the Parliament House gardens act as a vibrant bee-friendly city. 

The masterclass will end with you tasting honey sourced from urban spaces across Canberra. Including honey and honeycomb made by the busy Parliament House bees!  

This indoor masterclass is perfect for beekeepers and gardeners interested in creating bee-friendly hubs, both in their own gardens and in local areas. 

Add a refreshment package to your ticket for a discount on a delicious scone and a hot beverage of your choice at the Queen’s Terrace Café.
