“When we think of beekeepers, our minds often conjure up images of folks tending to hives in picturesque countryside settings. But today, we’re about to challenge that stereotype and introduce you to a remarkable individual who is breaking the mold. Meet Amber Riddell, the inspiring urban beekeeper from Teralba Park Honey, located in the heart of Everton Park. Amber is not only proving that beekeeping is possible in an urban area, but she’s also taking it to a whole new level.  

Amber’s journey began on a modest suburban block, where she transformed her backyard into a thriving apiary. What started as a simple hobby quickly turned into a passion that Amber couldn’t ignore. Despite the challenges of urban beekeeping, Amber’s determination and love for bees pushed her to explore new possibilities and expand her horizons.

At Teralba Park Honey, you’ll find an array of delectable creations, such as aromatic infused honey and indulgent flavoured creamed honey. Alongside honey production she is also dedicated to sharing her knowledge and expertise with others, mentoring new beekeepers who want to explore the world of urban apiaries. Moreover, Amber also conducts educational sessions for kindergartens and schools, introducing children to the wondrous world of bees. Through these initiatives, she aims to foster a deeper appreciation for bees and their vital role in our ecosystem.

Amber’s story is a testament to the power of following one’s dreams and challenging societal norms”
