21.01.2022 Hi everyone following, it has been an eventful year for us as we build the new extraction room. Unfortunately, this has blown out a bit and we will be online in abouts 12 months, due to lack of funding. I am keeping the bees going, but am unable to extract. I am working in the mine at Cape Flattery and from here funding the project. I can't wait for the day I can dedicate myself to producing honey, like the times when we still had an extraction room, prior to removing the equipment from the old Tumoulin School Building. We hope you all stick around to see the pics as they are added and enjoy the journey with us... God bless from Bruce Vik and kids...

18.01.2022 Soooo.... Havn' been on for a while, so I thought it would be a good thing to let yall know about my invention. I have placed a provisional Patent application on a device that prevents the small hive beetle and wax moth from entering the beehive. I will soon release the video evidence and details within the next month! Imagine a world full of hives that are strong and healthy, they would also be able to combat diseases due to their srength and vigour! Small hive beetle and wax moth destry hives if the hive becomes weak... even if a hive is strong, they spend a lot of energy controling these pest insects inside the hive. I will keep you posted...

15.01.2022 Water In The Hive : Bees and their AirConditioned Residences It's fascinating to see new research into bees and just how their colonies work together to maintai...n their conditions required to carry out their critical role in the ecosystem. Like life across the planet the importance of water in bee communities is critical . Recent studies have dived into the cycle of water in a hive, who brings it in and how it is used as an airconditioner. "After a day enduring hot and dry conditions, several dozen bees both water collectors and others transformed themselves into living storage tanks, bulging with water stowed in an expandable region of their gut." Well worth a read. https://www.newscientist.com//2098161-bees-spew-water-at-/

14.01.2022 The government has no idea..why spray middle of day when bees are in flight..grr #fortheloveofbees

11.01.2022 I don't endorse this or anything. But i did think these were super bee..autiful..

11.01.2022 This product kills Bees and has contaminated 75% of the worlds honey. #Confidor #Bayer sold by Yates at Bunnings and Woolworths contains the insecticides #cloth...ianidin #imidacloprid #thiamethoxam and #methiocarb. These insecticides are all currently registered for use in Australia on a range of pests and crops by farmers, growers and home gardeners. While methiocarb is a carbamate insecticide, the other chemicals all belong to a class called neonicotinoids, which are based on the nicotine molecule. Neonicotinoids are systemic nerve poisons and kill insects on contact or ingestion. Exposure to sub-lethal doses causes behavioural disturbances and disorientation, which is ultimately fatal for beehives. The US Environment Protection Agency’s fact sheet on clothianidin, says the pesticide is highly toxic to foraging honeybees and other pollinators, and there is a risk from chronic exposure because the systemic poison finds its way into the nectar and pollen of treated plants. Dr Simon Cubit, Public Affairs spokesman for the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), confirmed there are two clothianidin products registered in Australia which are likely to come into contact with bees, unfortunately these commonly sold products are not adequately labelled. Clothianidin is registered for use on cotton, bananas, apples, pears, peaches and nectarines to treat a range of pests. The French government banned imidacloprid, Bayer CropScience’s top selling insecticide as a seed treatment for sunflowers in 1999, and for corn in 2004, because of its clear link with mass bee deaths.French regulators recently rejected an application to register clothianidin and have also banned fipronil for its role in killing bees. Australian regulators must do whatever they can to protect bees as they provide an irreplaceable pollination role in our food production. Without bees we would likely not survive ourselves.Being systemic these poisons end up within the plant permanent our skin. If they are killing bees they are also killing us slowly . Through organic farming methods permaculture there are infinite solutions that involve wisdom and diversity. Bayer has huge lobbying capabilities. We are risking life by using neonicotinoids. Stop buying this poison. Sharing will save the bees. Photo kiwimana Labelling petition https://goo.gl/VaAm3I
