25.01.2022 LIMITED SUPPLY AVAILABLE! Crow Ash Honey Crow Ash (Flindersia australis) grows in rainforest and dry scrub from near Airlie Beach, inland as far as Carnarvon National Park and south to near Kempsey in New South Wales. This unblended single floral variety honey comes from the Byron Bay area in the Northern Rivers region, NSW. ... Crow Ash Honey has lots of personality, and has been a house favourite over Winter. On the first sniff, the notes bring us to an open grassy field, with a blue sky, somewhere near the stables. Given the current cool winter temps, the honey has transformed into a superb naturally pot-set honey with a smooth fine creamed texture like pure butter. With a colour like condensed milk and the texture of ripe peach, Crow Ash honey makes us feel warm and furry. It's not too sweet, with a gummy natural richness that’s short on the palette it does not linger too long. Pair with Kenilworth Red Vintage Malling cheese for down on the farm stand-out taste combo. If you don’t at it all before summer, the creamed Crow Ash honey may separate in the warmth of the sun. But frankly, we like the way it does not drip and makes us lick our spoons three times. Flindersia australis is a tall, hardy street or feature tree with a rounded habit, non-invasive roots and bird attracting cream-coloured flowers. You might recognise the decorative star-shaped seed pods, sometimes called a teak pod. We used to make Christmas decorations and other crafty arrangements from the pods as kids.

19.01.2022 Our James St Honey will be dropping soon in limited quantities. Winter provided a small bounty for us as beekeepers, which we are eternally grateful to our bees for providing. Spring has sprung, and so have the Jade flowers! Diversity is key to keeping happy and healthy bees, so please plant more flowers and water your gardens so your local bees can not only survive, but thrive in the year to come

18.01.2022 THE CHALLENGE: To communicate the location and distance to the best fresh local food source you can find? THE SOLUTION: Interpretive Dance! Honeybees communicate in a dance language called the waggle dance. It is an important part of how they provide food for the bee community. The direction the bee moves in relation to the hive indicates direction of the food source (pollen or nectar); if it moves vertically, the direction to the food source is directly towards the sun. The ...duration of the waggle part of the dance signifies the distance from the hive. Join the GLOBAL Online Waggle Dance Challenge this month. The Global Online Waggle Dance Challenge is a fun activity that promotes interest in honey bees. The dance mimics the extraordinary way honey bees communicate and celebrates bees’ crucial role in pollination and food security. The Global Online Waggle Dance has been designed to allow people to unite from anywhere in the world from the safety of their own home so that they can become part of this global celebration. Who can be involved? Everyone, individuals, school groups, businesses, all welcome. The goal is to have 20,000 waggle dance videos uploaded, from 20 countries in 2020, to represent the 20,000 species of bees that exist globally. Upload your dance video before 30 November to be featured in the world's second Waggle Dance compilation video. For More Information visit https://www.australianpollinatorweek.org.au//waggle-dance/

17.01.2022 || POLLEN || Hairy bees with hairy legs = perfect pollination. How does the pollen get on a bee and stay on a bee? Well, if you have ever met someone with a big bushy beard? Imagine them eating something very crumbly and lots of crumbs ending up all through their beard. Bees are very, very hairy. ... Each worker bee has 3 million hairs from head to toe, literally - bees even have hair on their eyes! The hairs are the physical clue to how bees collect pollen. As a worker bee moves between flowers, pollen attaches to her hairy body. The grains of pollen are rough-surfaced - with varied textures, with the bee's body acting in a similar way to velcro, hooking the pollen into the hairs for transportation between flowers. To top this process off, there are electrical fields that assist the attracting force. As the bee flies through the air, she bumps into charged particles, such as dust or other small molecules. The friction of these microscopic collisions strips electrons from the bee’s surface, resulting in a positively (+) charged bee! #beepositive Flowers tend to have a negative (-) charge, while the flowers themselves are electrically earthed, but the air around them carries a voltage of around 100 volts for every metre above the ground. The positive charge that accumulates around the flower induces a negative charge in the petals of the flower. What happens when a + charged hairy bee approached a - charged, pollen-rich flower? Like a balloon rubbed over your head, the pollen grains are electromagnetically attracted to the bees electro charge. From flower to flower, the bee gathers a broad diversity of pollens (which also act as a food source inside the hive, a whole other conversation...!), spreading the flowers genetic pollens far and wide before she heads back to her hive to deposit the valuable resource to share with her colony. We are on a mission, much like the bees, to Pollinate Change!

17.01.2022 || ULTIMATE ORGANISM || One of the biggest things we love about our bees is how their community works together in harmony to support the sustainability of the colony as a whole.

15.01.2022 |.| The Beehive as Inspiration - Natural Architects |.| Honeycomb structures are remarkably light, supple and strong: weighing a mere 150 grams when empty, a frame is able to contain up to five kilograms of honey when full. The hexagonal six-sided shape of each cell which conveys maximum storage space using minimal resources, has been a source of wonder and inspiration for architects over the centuries. ... Beehive architecture's influence is evident in churches, cathedrals, government buildings and other man made structures worldwide. Keen to learn? Bee One Third are holding a Beginning in Bees course this month, where you can get up close and personal with bees, look inside the hive and learn what it will take to become a backyard beekeeper yourself.

13.01.2022 Bees are Waste Free Bees are magnificently resourceful repurposers. Beeswax is infinitely recyclable: by the bees and by the beekeepers alike. After a bee emerges from a cell or a beekeeper takes the honey stored in the cell, the bees will re-use the wax cell again and again. Once we uncap the honey frames, the wax cappings are pressed and refined. The beeswax is pressed into sheet foundation, and the beeswax is returned to the hive for the bees to reuse again, and the cy...cle continues. Propolis is reused too. Bees gather propolis from tree resins and use it to create an antiseptic seal in the hive. When we open the beehive we are effectively cracking the propolis seal which bees have built. But don’t worry, the bees reuse the propolis, recreating seals, filling gaps and insulating the hive. We at bee one third package our honey in glass jars and refillable stainless dispensers for wholesale. You can repurpose the jar in a million and one ways: for ideas check out plastic free July https://www.plasticfreejuly.org. Or if you didn’t do as well with plastic free July as you’d like, grab local honey in glass packaging from our seasonal stock. Alright so it may be the end of July already (oh my that went quick!), but for us at Bee One Third it’s waste free every day. There are always steps we can take towards plastic free lifestyle. We strive to keep our impact minimal everyday by packaging our products in glass, paper and cardboard. We recycle all waste streams that come through the factory and make sustainable choices wherever we can right down to our hand soap and composting the tea leaves from our lunchroom. Its not about perfection but small steps everyday.

09.01.2022 || HONEY || Aromatic, delicious, complimentary and ever-changing, the world of honey is endless and we just adore promoting the unique varieties that are produced by our bees. We are so lucky to have a limited range of honey's still in stock nearing the end of Winter, thanks to the ever-diligent foraging skills of our excellent bee colonies. ... Our current in-stock seasonal honey's include: Byron Bay - A strong, florally rich honey that has pot set its texture to represent a creamy delicacy. If you are the honeyeater that thrives on a string, all-encompassing flavour, this honey is yours. Orange Blossom - A highly sought after honey, with its recognizable citrus overtones and a delectable thick, viscous (yet runny) texture. A seasonal favourite. Northern Rivers - A bold, caramel driven honey, likely comprised of Banksia Flower, Tea Tree Flower and a broad range of protein-rich ground flora, this honey adds flavour to any dish and is the perfect complement to salad dressing, cheese boards and more. As always, we give thanks to our bees, the trees, and the soil on which we breathe. #pollinatingchange @ Brisbane, Queensland, Australia See more

09.01.2022 A game of drones Seasonal changes in the population of the honeybee colony means we are seeing more drones growing in preparation for the spring and summer. Who are the drones, what do they do? Drones are the male bees. They’re bigger and stronger than the female worker bees but have only one job: Drones serve to fertilise a new queen from a nearby colony. Once their job is done, its lights out for the bachelor. That’s right - he hooks up then he checks out. The very act of ...transferring his genetic material literally causes him to explode (audible POP) and die. Out with a bang https://www.youtube.com/watch. So, you see all those busy bees collecting nectar and pollen from flowers? Building honeycomb structures, filling them with honey, tending to the young bees, and defending the hive? Yup: all worker bees are female. Our brother Bachelor the Drone has no sting, cannot pollinate plants, collects no nectar, does not create wax, fails to clean up after himself and doesn’t even feed himself. Yet beekeepers need drones, and in spring we hope to see more drone comb in our hives to be sure that wild fertilised queens will have a variety of genetic material in her ‘sperm bank’ for the rest of her productive life.

08.01.2022 Do bees sleep? Bees are always working when the sun is shining. But what do they do after dark? They go inside their beehive. What is it like inside the beehive? It’s dark. What do bees do at night. Do bees sleep? According to scientists, YES, bees do sleep! Scientists have looked at how humans and other mammals sleep, and they have found bees do similar things. For example, just as humans’ (and other mammals) body gets relaxed and go through different phases of sleep (l...ight sleep, deep sleep), so do bees! It turns out that when a bee is in deep sleep, their antennae droop downwards, the upper body (thorax) drops as does the tip of the abdomen (or tail), and the wings rest on the body. Scientist also found that body temperature of bees drops and breathing slows down when they sleep (it does in humans too!) and that the deeper a bee is sleeping, the brighter the light needed to wake the bee: again, a little like humans. Pretty fascinating world that we work in.

07.01.2022 B 1/3, your neighbourhood honey and pollination company. We thought it best for a little check-in, huh? We'd like to put the pieces together about the meaning behind our name for those of you who are new to our tribe. B 1/3 is our abbreviation for 'Bee One Third'. ... One-third of our global food supply is reliant on from . Yup, that's right, ONE in every THREE plates of food you eat, well, you can thank the bees for it. Did you know that there are roughly 20,000~ species of globally? As amazing as that sounds, these species are disappearing at a disturbing rate due to human land and ecosystem management practices. Our goal is to repopulate those ecosystems that have seen the disappearance of wild pollinators, through utilizing unused rooftops, backyards, adjacent wild habitat sites and farms to create peri-urban pollination hubs around the South East QLD and Northern NSW. Bees require a broad diversity of food for them to remain healthy and well-fed. The broader the food system, the healthier and faster the colony will grow.

05.01.2022 Its a beautiful life Beekeeping is a magical experience! We love working with the weather and the seasons to support millions of pollinators to go about their work. ... Its not all about the honey, though. The fresh air, sunshine, road trips and a bit of hard yakka is good for the soul. But when that macadamia honey drops, and the bees are booming, that's job satisfaction right there. Love your job and you'll never work a day in your life. Want to learn more?

04.01.2022 We all love a tasty smashed avocado toast with some pepper and the occasional lathering of Aussie vegemite, can it get any better? Yep, according to the bees it can Garnish your next savory meal with a tablespoon of nutrient dense bee pollen! Perfect and delicious on savory or sweet foods, bee pollen adds an earthy yet delicately sweet flavour to any dish. ... In fact, pollen is made up of a complex mix of protein, amino acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.Energy packed, and seriously healthy. Bee pollen is the magical fruit of nature. Pollen is a coarse powder produced in the middle of a flower containing the flower's genetics. When a bee visits a flower, she collects pollen. The pollen attaches to the bee’s hairs, covering her as she flies from flower to flower, cross-pollinating flower genetics amongst the neighbourhood. Once a flower is pollinated, it can then grow seeds, and then fruit. Fact: Avocados rely heavily on insect and bee pollination! Interestingly, pollen grains are the male microgametophytes of seed plants, which produce male gametes (sperm cells). As beekeepers, we collect the pollen that bees have gathered from the surrounding flowers, dry it, sort it, clean it then consume it, but only when it's in huge excess for the bees (an obvious oversupply!). All the flavours of Spring in a teaspoon of granules. Available for your pantry via the shop link in this post, fresh from hives in the Ngarkat Conservation Forest, SA.

04.01.2022 FEATURING: Pure Bee pollen from the Ngarkat, SA. Ngarkat Conservation Park is a special place, featuring a magnificent mosaic of mallee and heath land, extending across 270,000-hectares of remnant coastal dunes. The term 'mallee' can either be used to define a plant community or an area in south-eastern South Australia. Mallee is also used to describe a tree. This is a multi-stemmed eucalypt tree that grows from a bulbous root called a lignotuber. There are approximately twel...ve different species of mallee in Ngarkat. With the opening rains falling between April and June, this area is transformed into a lush oasis for wildlife. The flush of new plant growth, nectar and pollen provides an important food source for grazing animals, and a breeding area for waterbirds. The banksias that grow throughout much of Ngarkat Conservation Park produce large amounts of nectar and pollen. For many years the area has been the winter home of honeybees. A number of apiarists place hives among the banksias for a few months each year. Pollen is harvested sustainably from the bees as they return to their colony. Bee One Third have the privilege of bringing to you this pure and delicate product from the hive. If you like honey, you'll love pollen. Follow us for recipes, tips and gift ideas using pollen.

03.01.2022 Pollinating Change - One beehive at a time. || Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up. As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was tha...t of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean. He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?" The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean." "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man. To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die." Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!" At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one.

Hope you can join in too for the conversation with Costa Georgiadis and Dan Smailes on a 'walk & talk' through a regiona...l botanic garden focusing on some of the recent Sydney Native Bee Rescues relocated within. Dan works with arborists, council workers, residents and volunteers to help rescue and relocate local stingless bee colonies in need (Tetragonula carbonaria). They relocate vulnerable nests, from inappropriate and risky situations, back into safe places of community, education, cultural or environmental significance. Dan will guide Costa through one such place, a regional botanical garden and Native Bee sanctuary. Hear stories about some of the hives and their colourful histories.
