Melbourne City Rooftop Honey Melbourne City Rooftop Honey

Melbourne City Rooftop Honey is a project to bring bees back to the city and suburbs of Melbourne supporting a world wide effort to help save the honey bee.

Vanessa Kwaitkowski and Mat Lumalasi are placing hives on the roof spaces of cafes, restaurants, hotels and individual's gardens in and around Melbourne.

Since 2010 we've been flying the flag for bees in Melbourne. Our vision is the same now as it was back then. We look forward to sharing our beekeeping world with you this season.

We are Beekeepers with a vision of bringing bees back to the city and the suburbs of Melbourne. The aim is to be part a global effort to help save the honey bee from the various threats of disease and human habitation.

This project not only seeks to address issues of sustainability, it also aims to raise awareness of the importance of bees whilst creating delicious honey. By placing hives on the roof spaces of caf©s, restaurants, hotels and individual's gardens in and around Melbourne we have reduced the distance from production to plate to mere metres.

Melbourne City Rooftop Honey joins the cities like Paris, London, Toronto, San Francisco New York, Hong Kong and many others where urban beekeeping is thriving. The community benefits by some true 'local' produce - a delicious tasting honey which is unique to each site, with less actual food miles plus help green our City of Melbourne.

Our BEES are dying

With the collapse of honeybees in 2007 (Colony Collapse Disorder), the Asian Honey Bee threat and Varroa Mite on our doorstep, a serious risk is taking place on our natural food supply. Since the honey bee is crucial in our environment and their existence helps with sustainability in food along with the responsibility of pollinating a large proportion of the food that we eat - if the honey bees are in trouble, we are in trouble as well.
