The art of beekeeping, with its amazing golden reward, is gaining popularity. We are lucky to have several local beekeepers in the Illawarra who will share their spoils with you. Most have honeycomb as well.
Remember that honey and honeycomb supply is directly affected by the season, what’s flowering locally and the weather (bees don’t like rain and drought is an issue too).
