International Day of
Women in Beekeeping

Join the Bee Queens in Hobart and celebrate International Day of Women In Beekeeping .

​

For the first time since we set 2 World Records in 2023, we are running an in person event to encourage women to experience beekeeping. We will meet at 10.00am, where we will be joined by Bob Newton, President of the Southern Tasmanian Beekeepers Association. Bob will tell us about '10 things he has learned as a beekeeper', before we open up some hives together, finishing with a shared morning tea.

​

Bookings are ESSENTIAL .
