Swan Valley - Honey Tasting

July 16, 2008

At the carpark of the The Margaret River Chocolate Factory , 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!
