Visit River Hawk Ranch

The Private Tour

A 2 hour journey into our work with the bees and a different way of being in relationship with nature.

Walk with us through the sanctuary as we share the philosophy behind River Hawk Bee Sanctuary and the practices that guide our work:

Reciprocity. Reverence.

Along the way, you’ll meet some of Australia’s extraordinary native stingless bees, learn about our approach to bee-centred beekeeping, visit honey bees and wild hive sites and discover what the bees are teaching us about resilience, adaptation and living in relationship with the natural world.

There are moments to observe, taste and participate along the way, including the opportunity to taste rare native bee honey and experience our practise of asking permission before coming close to pr taking from a hive.

We finish by the Honey House sharing our delicious, pollen-rich, nutrient dense honey and honeycomb alongside a selection of cheeses and our very own Hawthorn Estate sparkling wine.
