We invite you to join us for a special Dumbo Workshop

An Introduction to Bees and Beekeeping

After profiling urban beekeepers Vanessa Kwiatkowski and Mat Lumalasi for our current issue, we fell in love with all things bees and honey and decided that the logical next step was to get our own beehive. We are sharing our excitement and offering the Dumbo community the chance to take part in a hands-on workshop on Bees and Beekeeping run by Vanessa and Matt from Melbourne City Rooftop Honey.

As well as offering a wealth of information the workshop will give you the chance to handle bees inside a real hive and taste the different honeys from Melbourne’s own Urban Beehives. All attendees will receive a gift bag packed with info, yummy goodies and the wonderful Bee Book by Ann Cliff.

Places will be limited to 20 people so book now to secure your spot.

About Melbourne City Rooftop Honey

Vanessa Kwiatkowski and Mat Lumalasi are the founders of a unique project that aims to bring bees back to our cities. Concerned by a growing sense of disconnection between food production and consumption and inspired by hundred year old practices in Europe, Vanessa and Mat have created something uniquely Melbourne in their project ‘Melbourne City Rooftop Honey’.

This project not only seeks to address issues of sustainability, it also aims to raise awareness of the importance of bees whilst creating delicious honey. By placing hives on the roof spaces of cafés, restaurants, hotels and individual's gardens in and around Melbourne Vanessa and Mat have reduced the distance from production to plate to mere metres.
