Bee Curious – Ipswich Native Bee Workshops

Discover the fascinating world of Australia’s native bees with hands-on Bee Hive Workshops hosted by the Ipswich Visitor Information Centre.

Led by experienced native bee specialists, these engaging sessions explore the incredible diversity of Australia’s native bees – from solitary backyard pollinators to remarkable Australian stingless bees. Learn how to attract native bees into your garden, create nesting habitats, care for hives and better understand their essential role in local ecosystems.

Depending on the workshop, participants may build and take home their own bee hotel, observe a live hive split or even see inside a working stingless bee nest. You might even sample the unique honey produced by local native bees.

These small-group experiences combine practical learning with relaxed hospitality. After each session, guests are treated to a classic Devonshire tea on the deck – complete with freshly baked scones, sweet treats and locally brewed tea and coffee.

Perfect for garden lovers, sustainability enthusiasts and curious minds of all ages, Bee Hive Workshops offer a memorable and distinctly Ipswich experience that blends nature, knowledge and country-style charm.
