Bees Noosa
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone...bee safe and happy
Welcome to our Bees Noosa website. We are passionate about bees and what they do for us and mankind. If we didn't have bees, then we wouldn't have much food to eat. This is why we decided to share our knowledge with other bee enthusiasts (and honey lovers ) by offering down-to-earth bee courses on the Sunshine Coast. Our courses are conducted in John's backyard in Tewantin (near Noosa): The courses are intensive, hands-on, fun and have small participant numbers. There are introductory, intermediate, advanced and refresher courses. (Contact BeesNoosa@gmail.com for more information or to book). John also sells his beautiful honey (and bees)- buy some by emailing him on BeesNoosa@gmail.com
COURSE NEWS: Next introductory course is TBC 19 January 2025, 9am-12:30pm (and TBC 23 Februar)
Who are we? John Writer and Kathy Lynch.
John (knows a-lot about bees). John started beekeeping around 1998 - beekeeping is his hobby and passion, he plays with his bees in his backyard in Tewantin as well as a few other hives in the hinterland, is a registered beekeeper with Biosecurity Queensland, and a member of Qld Beekeepers' Association. (John is a retired builder).
Kathy (knows a little about bees). Kathy started learning about bees as a young child, but only took it up in 2019 when she started her first hive in the hinterland - she now has three hives, is a registered hobbyist beekeeper with Biosecurity Queensland, and is a member of the Sunshine Coast Beekeepers Group. (Kathy is a retired academic).
(2023- a few prizes at the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show and the Gympie Ag. Show, AND John received 1st place for his honey in the Novice section of the Brisbane EKKA. But best of all, John won 3rd prize for his honey at the Royal Easter Show in Sydney
2024 - Kathy did extremely well at the Sydney Royal Easter Show - 1st place for her wax moulds...some of which where created from her own 3D printing. We also did pretty well at the Sunshine Coast Show in both honey and wax sections).
