Saffire Freycinet Launches New Beekeeping Experience

For almost 10 years, guests at Saffire on Tasmania's stunning Freycinet Peninsula have encountered Tasmania’s natural environment through a range of immersive experiences. These experiences have become central to the Saffire offering and have received world-wide acclaim, a variety of awards and extraordinary guest feedback – most notably Saffire’s famous Freycinet Marine Oyster Farm Experience. This summer, after months of preparation, the team has launched its newest and most immersive signature experience: The Saffire Beekeeping Experience.

Tasmanian honey production is on the rise, with local apiaries drawing international attention for their sweet, decadent and golden produce. This honey already forms part of the unforgettable culinary experience at Saffire, but now guests can learn the secrets behind the sweetness in our brand new Beekeeping Experience. In perhaps Saffire's most immersive offering yet, guests don a full-body apiarist suit and venture into a nearby private apiary, with hives overlooking the Hazards Mountains. With the safety and guidance of Saffire Horticulturalist, Rob ‘The Bee Man’ Barker, guests will not only approach the hives, but extract honeycomb to witness the breathtaking natural phenomenon of honey-making by Tasmanian bees. Such immersion in nature is as exciting as it is fascinating, particularly when considering that bees are the cornerstone of the local eco-system – without which our world would be a very different place. Experience the wonder of Tasmanian nature at its most raw, captivating and sweet.
