Meet the Bees of Albury Vineyard

At Albury Vineyard, sustainability is more than a philosophy - it’s part of daily life. One of the quietest yet most powerful contributors to our thriving ecosystem is the humble honeybee. 

As we celebrate World Bee Day, it’s the perfect time to share how our bees help keep the vineyard healthy, and how you can experience their world up close through our beekeeping experiences.

What Our Bees Do

The bees at Albury Vineyard may be small, but their impact is huge. By foraging across the vineyard and surrounding countryside, they play a key role in maintaining a balanced, biodiverse environment. Their pollination efforts support wildflowers, hedgerows, and fruit trees that grow around our vines—creating habitats for other insects, birds, and wildlife.

This natural biodiversity doesn’t just benefit the environment—it helps us, too. A more diverse ecosystem supports healthier soils, reduces the need for intervention, and fits perfectly with our organic and biodynamic ethos. The bees are a vital part of the web of life that makes Albury wines not only delicious, but sustainably made.

How You Can Help

You don’t need a vineyard to make a difference for bees. Here are a few simple ways you can support pollinators and protect biodiversity—right from your own garden or windowsill:

Plant Bee-Friendly Flowers: Choose native, nectar-rich plants like lavender, foxgloves, and wildflowers. Aim for a mix that blooms from spring through autumn.

Avoid Pesticides: Many garden chemicals harm bees. Opt for natural pest control methods or simply let nature take its course.

Create Shelter: Leave a patch of your garden a little wild, or install a bee hotel to offer refuge for solitary bees.

Buy Local Honey: Support your local beekeepers by choosing honey from nearby producers—it helps maintain healthy bee populations in your area.

Spread the Word: Share what you’ve learned about bees and their importance. Awareness leads to action.

Every small effort adds up and together, we can help keep our ecosystems buzzing.
