THE \u2018save the bees\u2019 movement inspired Molly and Trish Wellington to start beekeeping, and the hives on their Mannibadar property launched a super sweet enterprise.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The family, including mum Trish, produce Well Honey from bees located in Mannibadar and Melbourne.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well Honey, stocked at Linton Larder, comes from the Wellingtons\u2019 bees. Their rural range is extracted from two hives in the Shire, and is influenced by seasonal growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time we do an extraction, it will taste slightly different depending on what\u2019 flowering nearby at the time,\u201d Mrs Wellington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBees can travel up to five kilometres for their nectar and pollen, and the next rural batch we do will be based on canola stock that\u2019s out at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur rural honey is a much deeper colour and flavour to an urban range we also do. It\u2019s very sweet. It will be interesting to see what the flavour is this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Wellington and her 26-year-old daughter, Molly, became passionate apiarists after they watched a documentary together.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt talked about how important bees are for our survival on the planet, and Molly said, \u2018how about we do this together?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever we extracted, we got a tonne of honey. We had 30 jars, and that\u2019s why we decided to start selling it,\u201d Mrs Wellington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy 16-year-old, Matilda is already helping. I feel like the apprentice. She\u2019s looking to the future, hoping to make this a family tradition for us to pass down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buying their Mannibadar farm two years ago, there were always lots of bees on site, including a hive in an old tree stump, but they also brought in their own which they purchased near Creswick.<\/p>\n

Their latest project has been trying to get the stump hive out.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week Molly spent all day trying to do it. You\u2019ve got to catch the queen to catch the hive.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The bees produce enough honey for about 25 jars per hive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe had an old hive in the back of our house, which we think moved over to the tree too,\u201d Mrs Wellington said.<\/p>\n

They have a goal to produce manuka honey in the coming years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s busy being a beekeeper, and we\u2019ve got big prospects for our honey and bees. The beekeeping association told us no one ever stops at one hive. It\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n
