World Bee Day Celebration

Join us on the Anchorpoint plaza for a buzzing lunchtime celebration of World Bee Day – featuring a lineup of free, hands-on activities run by Bees Up Top.

Whether you’re keen to learn, create, or just taste something sweet, there’s something for everyone. No need to book – but there are limited quantities so come early to make sure you don’t miss out!

What’s happening:
🐝 Live honey extraction – Watch fresh honey being spun straight from the hive. Learn how it’s harvested, chat with the beekeepers, and pour your own mini jar of goodness to take home.
🎨 Bee-themed painting activity – Get creative and paint your own bee artwork – perfect for a mindful moment and a fun way to celebrate our pollinator pals.
🌱 DIY seed bomb station – Make your own wildflower seed bomb to take home and plant. It’s an easy, impactful way to support local pollinators in your backyard or balcony garden.
💄 Beeswax lip balm making – Craft your own all-natural lip balm using beeswax and essential oils. It’s sustainable, simple, and something you’ll actually use.
🍯 Candle rolling – Roll your own natural candle using pure beeswax honeycomb sheets. It’s quick, fun, and totally beginner-friendly — no mess, no fuss.

Plus sample a range of delicious local honeys, purchase some to take home, and ask local beekeepers anything you’ve ever wanted to know about bees, hives, and how to support urban pollination.

Please note: The live honey extraction and honey pouring may attract a few real bees. They’re just here for the sweet stuff – please be mindful and give them space if they pop by. 🐝
