SUGAR, SEX and DEATH. THE SWEET LIFE OF BEES.
With Rob Barker of Wild Hives Honey.
Dive into the Buzz of Rob’s honey & bee talk! An introduction to the complexities of these modern-day pollinating.
Combining his love of horticulture with the fascinating world of bees, Rob is a passionate Apiarist who respects the complex workings of the hive to showcase honey in its most natural and unprocessed form.
His love of insects started at a young age but it wasn’t until a swarm of bees moved into a tree hollow on his land that he was drawn into the secret lives of these fascinating insects. It is these wild bees living in the wild hives of Tasmania that have Rob searching for these unique insects.
Rob also values the unique endemic Flora of Tasmania, combined with the fascinating geology and varied climate across the state. The influence it has on not only the flavour of the honey but also the colour and aromas. A direct reflection of Tasmania’s unique terroir.
