Temperatures range from 5°C to 32°C (70°F to 90°F) with lower humidity of around 20 to 35% and there’s little to no rain.
The days are sunny, and the nights are mild. This is the perfect time of year to explore the natural beauty the Northern Territory has to offer. This season is when we provide pollination services for one of the local Top End watermelon farms.

The days are hot and humid but the repreave comes from the monsoonal rains. This season is an important time of the year for us to get our hives ready for our 'winter' period (aka the Dry Season). Ensuring there is enough honey reserves as we head into our cooler months.
