The Sheds Woollamia Precinct
This June, Bay and Bush Nature Retreat invites guests to experience A Taste of the Hive — a unique apiary and honey tasting experience held in The Mill Shed overlooking our working bee hives in Jervis Bay. As part of the upcoming Food Network event series — The Sheds Woollamia Precinct, this intimate experience offers a sensory journey connecting guests with nature, sustainability, and local flavour.
Hosted by one of our beekeepers, guests will learn about the important role bees play in pollination and the environment, while discovering Bay and Bush’s Bee School and sustainability initiatives. A live bee frame display will offer a safe and fascinating close-up look at bees in action, with views across the apiary throughout the experience.
Guests will enjoy a guided tasting of our exclusive honey, paired with a seasonal café dish and beverage inspired by our barefoot luxury philosophy and local produce. The experience also highlights how honey is incorporated into dishes served at The Café.
Guests will leave with a deeper appreciation for bees, local produce, and the surrounding landscape, along with the opportunity to purchase our limited honey release.
