World Bee Day - 20 May

Across the globe, 20 May is World Bee Day and it is certainly a day to celebrate.

Thanks to the tireless work of our European honeybees, led by Queens Blossom and Kin Kin, the Loreto Toorak bees continue to work to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem health across our planet. With thanks to our Environment Councillors, Eva and Eloise, for the World Bee Day Waggle Dance was held at lunchtime. Our treasured bees certainly hold a special place in the hearts and minds of the Loreto Toorak community.

As part of the World Bee Day celebrations, we are thrilled to announce that our recently harvested Loreto Toorak honey was entered in the 2025 Sydney Royal Easter Show – Australia’s Premier Honey Judging Competition – by our partners, Rooftop Bees. Ms O’Dwyer is thrilled to announce that the Loreto Toorak honey was awarded 1st place!

Loreto Toorak is once again at the top of the podium! This time with our honey!
