THE BEE FARM

Where Bees Thrive, Nature Flourishes, and Sustainability Blossoms

We invite you to visit The Bee Farm, East of Silver Lakes in Pretoria where the rhythmic hum of African honey bees (Apis Mellifera Scuttelata) and the gentle murmur of the distant river harmonizes with sustainable living on our tranquil 21-hectare farm.

Nestled along the banks of the Pienaars River, our sanctuary invites you to embark on an immersive journey into the enchanting world of these vital pollinators.

Amid the rolling lavender fields and the gentle clucking of free-roaming Boschvelder chickens you can delight in the symphony of tastes, from local raw honey to seasonal honeycomb and the warmth of creamed honey infused with organic spices.

Savor the rich flavours of our boutique-style traditional Viking meads made from honey harvested from sustainable bee removals. Each sip encapsulates ancient brewing techniques and the richness of premium natural ingredients. All these hive-based treasures promise a sensorial experience like no other.

The Bee Farm is more than a haven for bee products, it’s an educational hub and our commitment extends beyond the palate. We’ve taken strides to minimize our carbon footprint, proudly achieving 0% waste. Every byproduct, from crystalized honey to old husk and comb, is upcycled into marketable products.

Enjoy the versatility of these hive-related products with our eco-friendly beeswax firelighters and beeswax candles. Immerse yourself in the medicinal benefits of propolis through meticulously crafted tinctures, and elevate your self-care routine with our honey-and-propolis or lavender infused hand soaps, embodying a perfect blend of luxury and natural purity.

Experience the harmony between nature and sustainability as you embark on guided tours led by our resident apiarists, who share insights into responsible beekeeping and the vital role bees play in our ecosystem.

Our resident apiarists also offer monthly beekeeping training, guiding enthusiasts through the intricacies of this ancient art.
