The Bees Knees at QT Canberra

By Sas Lyon

The Farm-to-fork food movement has swarmed over QT Canberra as we begin to produce our own vegetables in a bespoke garden atop our property. With first harvest just in the word ‘fresh’ doesn’t even begin to cover just how snap-tastic some of the veggies are when you dine with us.

In addition to our garden we have begun our very own bee-keeping project which will see fresh honey harvested in the next two weeks ready for you to drizzle on your morning breakfast or straight into a beautiful cup of peppermint tea while you relax during the end of the warmer months on our Capitol Bar and Grill deck.

Bees have been a big story recently with the impact of diminishing numbers due to the importation of non-domestic varieties carrying diseases for which our own honey bees have no immunity. It’s catastrophic when introduced disease hits a hive, and we are making sure our own hives have the best chance of success by working with local experts Better Bee Hives.

If you are licking your lips at the thought of this fresh honey on a flaky croissant make sure you book into Capitol Bar and Grill for breakfast!
