Day 58: Liquid Gold in the Bush—No, Not THAT Kind of Gold!

G'day, mates! Welcome to Day 58 of the Whoop Whoop Walk About tour. You might be thinking we’ve struck gold out here in the Aussie bush, but nope—this isn’t your Ned Kelly-style treasure hunt! We’re talking about the real liquid gold of the outback... honey! But don’t get too excited just yet. Harvesting honey from a wild hive nestled in the hollow of a tree is no easy task. You can’t just waltz up with a jar and a spoon—it’s a fine art of skill, patience, and the ability to dodge a swarm of angry bees.

First lesson—don’t attempt to be a hero by harvesting honey during the day unless you fancy a swollen face and running for the hills! The trick? Wait until nightfall. That’s right, folks, when the little buzzers are tucked away in their hexagonal bedrooms, dreaming of nectar and flowers. That’s when you swoop in like a bush ninja. Equipped with a bit of smoke to keep things calm (no, not a BBQ smoke-off), you can gently pry out that sweet, golden goodness without a bee greeting you with a stinger.

Now, we can’t give away all our secrets, but we will say it’s one of those uniquely Aussie experiences that leaves you buzzing (pun intended) with excitement!

Tips for Harvesting Bee Honey Like a True Bushie:

Bees snooze at night – they’re not expecting visitors. This is your window of opportunity!
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em – no, not that kind! A little smoke calms the hive, making them think it’s time to relax, not attack.
Bee quick – Get in, get the honey, and get out. No dawdling!
Dress for the job – This isn’t a fashion show, mate. Cover up like you’re heading into a mozzie-plagued swamp.

With honey in hand (and maybe a sting or two, but that’s part of the fun), you’ll walk away with not just delicious nectar but a proper outback experience worth sharing at the pub!

So, whether you’re a hiker, an outback adventurer, or just someone who’s keen on learning the wild ways of the Aussie bush, join us on one of our unforgettable tours. We’ve got plenty more tips and tricks where that came from—without the sting in the tail!
