![]() Beekeeper, Ian Fleiter, sells his naturally produced Northern Territory honey under the Batchelor Bees label at the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, and also at Rapid Creek Markets (the oldest markets in Darwin). A beekeeper for more than twenty years, the easy-going Fleiter says his bees harvest nectar from a rich variety of native flowers to produce a delicious honey with unusual flavours unique to the Top End. For more information about both markets and the best times to catch Fleiter selling his honey, see Mindil Beach Sunset Markets and Rapid Creek Markets. For details about beekeeping in the Northern Territory, visit the Northern Territory Beekeeper's Association web site. There is a wealth of information about Australian wildflowers at the Wildflowers Australia web site. Post script. Sadly Ian Fleiter passed away in September 2012 from a brain aneurism. My sympathies to Ian's family and friends.
