Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie. From flaky crusts to mouth-watering fillings, there’s bound to be a pie to satisfy your tastebuds.

You know this is a Cookie Cult pie the moment sticky date pudding, honey and custard collide.

The signature chocolate chip cookie base sets the foundation, topped with a generous chunk of soft, rich sticky date pudding drenched in warm honey caramel.

Afternoon spent in the gorgeous winter sun inspecting and preparing our public land bee site to move our bees onto. Diverse floral resources, both warmer and drier and relatively close to home (within an hours drive). Nearby water and somewhat protected by a dense undercanopy from uninvited humans (who are sometimes up to no good).

Sitting at Avoca Pub contemplating our treatment plan now we have detected Varroa destructor in our beehives. Although it was inevitable, its still a shock when you see them in the varroa checker. Value the training and expertise offered by those beekeepers who have gone before us in managing the mite. 🐝

🍃 Growing endemic species in your own backyard for revegetation projects like the TreeProject (see dets below) is something both meaningful and achievable to help mitigate the impacts of climate change.

🌱Today potting on summer raised seedlings (around 100 so far) for autumn planting across Central Victoria. Tiny Hop Wattles, Black Sheoks and Melaleucas. Tube stock is also distributed to our own local Urban Ripple Project.
