08: Amber Riddell, Teralba Park Honey

Joining us in this week’s episode is the queen bee of Teralba Park Honey, Amber Riddell. Amber talks all things beekeeping, turning your hobbies into a thriving business and how to tap into community support along the way. We hear Amber's story into beekeeping, which began with purchasing her first hive from Facebook Marketplace while living in the northern suburbs of Brisbane. Initially drawn to the convenience of flow hives, she eventually transitioned to traditional hive boxes and frames, finding a deeper connection to beekeeping through hands-on hive inspections. As a qualified beekeeper, Amber is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others, offering educational sessions for kindergartens and community groups.Throughout the interview, Amber discusses common misconceptions about beekeeping and emphasizes the role of beekeepers in promoting biodiversity conservation. She also highlighted the unique qualities of Teralba Park Honey and the values that guide her business, such as a commitment to sustainable practices and community engagement.Amber's passion and dedication to both her craft and her community are so evident throughout our chat.We also pay tribute to the heroes of Anzac Day. We honour the sacrifices made by the men and women who have served, and those who continue to serve, in Australia's armed forces. We remember the values of courage, mateship, and sacrifice embodied by the Anzacs. Through remembrance, we honour their legacy. Lest we forget.Episode Inclusions:Amber Riddell from Teralba Park Honey interviewAnzac Day Tribute in Chermside West - all welcome https://echo-news.com.au/anzac-legacy-lives-on-through-heartfelt-tribute/Anzac Day services around Brisbane's north western suburbs https://echo-news.com.au/local-anzac-day-services-2024/Destination Spotlight: Samford Potters CollectiveLooking forward, looking back: The incredible history of Camp Strathpine and Spitfire Avenue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOKY8fmbR6IUpcoming events$150 VISA GIFT CARD Competition - 1 more week to enter!Now, let's chat the talk of the town.
