Overview

There is more to a jar of honey than its sweetness!

Join Parliament House Volunteer Head Beekeeper, Cormac Farrell, for an insightful tour of the Australian Parliament House beehives. Meet the busy bees who call Parliament House home and discover the crucial role they play in contributing to a healthy environmental ecosystem on Capital Hill.

You will have the opportunity to indulge in a honey and honeycomb tasting experience sourced from the Parliament House beehives.

This tour is suited to beekeepers, gardeners and anyone interested in bee-friendly environments in their own gardens and local areas.

An optional refreshment package can be added to your ticket. The package includes a delicious scone and hot beverage of your choice from the Queen's Terrace Cafe.

Bookings are essential. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
