The APIARY
When you want to experience the buzz of live bees, come and visit the Collingwood Children’s Farm Apiary.
In collaboration with the Victorian Apiarists Association – Melbourne Section
When you want to experience the buzz of live bees, come and visit the Collingwood Children’s Farm Apiary.
The apiary aims to educate the public about bees and beekeeping, as well as providing beekeeping advice and practice to current and prospective beekeepers.
It has also been decided that because of the current COVID-19 situation and until further notice, the Collingwood Children’s Farm apiary will no longer be open to the public, including beekeepers’ inspecting hives, on the scheduled second and fourth Sunday of each month. The apiary, however, will still be managed by the Farm’s volunteer beekeepers.
