At the carpark of the , we saw a sign that said ” Free Honey Tasting. 200 meters ahead”.

Oh great, an educational visit on the way!

South West Australia, Swan Valley : Honey Tasting

Time to visit the bees farms,  see bee hives,  learn how honey are extracted and taste some freshly extracted honey. That was what we thought.

What a disappointment.

The “Farm” was actually a small adjacent room next to a residential unit. The owner has set up the room as a retail store to sell  a variety of honey. I  forget the brand of the honey but I do believe I saw the brand at the supermarkets during the trip.

It was a letdown. Probaly a mismatched of expectation. But the three boys did have some honey tasting and I think Kai had a good time chatting to the owner about bees and hives!
