Kangaroo Island may well be the oldest official bee sanctuary in the world. It may also be the only place in the world where pure Italian bees can still be found. Three colonies of these Ligurian bees were brought to the island in 1884. And ever since it has become renowned for its beautiful honey. The Island is also an increasingly popular tourist destination. Its remote location, about 100kms south of Adelaide, off the coast of South Australia, has preserved much of its natural beauty. Kangaroo Island is also a haven for Australian native wildife, being free from foxes and feral cats. For more information check out www.kangarooisland.com.au
