23.01.2022 Time to fatten some nucs!

22.01.2022 Been getting heaps of calls and messages about nucs lately! Please note we are currently at this years capacity (unless something major happens). Also please note we wont have any available until mid November as that is the date we will have our queens arriving from Australian Queen Bee Exporters, we will not sacrifice on quality of nucs before that date. Thanks everyone for your understanding!

21.01.2022 A really good graphic with some helpful advice if you’re looking to develop a label! Remember it is a requirement when selling that the product be labeled

20.01.2022 Worried about your bees going into winter? We currently have the opportunity to come and assist you with an inspection for $30. This means 1:1 mentoring and advice giving you peace of mind that your bees have the best chance of thriving next spring! Please PM the page to arrange a time. Please note hills and southern suburbs preferred, may be able to do further north at an agreed price.

20.01.2022 This would be a bit of a surprise!

20.01.2022 Really excited to announce our new project! If you want pasture raised and grassfed proteins then definitely the page for you! As we get setup well be sharing products for sale (pasture raised poultry primarily) as well as whats happening each week on the farm! Hope to see you there!

19.01.2022 Big few days moving a few loads of bees into the hills ready for some (hopefully!) warm weather to kick this blue gum off! We're loving how the pastels pop on the green grass!

17.01.2022 Only 4 spots left for our November date, we only have 10 people per course to ensure that you can ask the questions you need and have the support to embark on your beekeeping journey!

17.01.2022 Are you interested bees? Want to be part of the PIRSA Biosecurity team?

15.01.2022 And so begins another season! This morning we moved hives to a small orchard in Renmark to pollinate stone fruit and almonds. These bees will spend 4 weeks there before we start chasing orange blossom honey and begin our season in full

14.01.2022 Perfect day to be painting the next lot of honey supers!

14.01.2022 Needing something to fight away the cold weather lurgies? We have a limited number of 1kg RAW honey tubs and jars available. 2 flavours either stringy bark (dark one just starting to candy/crystallise) and blue gum (lighter one in glass jars only). Both are starting or have crystallised but with a bit of a warm water bath these will be back to liquid gold easily! On the other hand it’s just like eating lollies in its current form! $10ea for glass or plastic.

13.01.2022 With spring merely days away we have bees on both canola and almonds, they’re building up ready to get big harvests of Orange Blossom, Blue Gum, Mallee and Lucerne honeys this season! Let’s hope for a big season and welcome to all our new followers!

12.01.2022 Hundreds of frames put together over the last few days, ready to go on blue gum tomorrow! We always choose Australian owner and manufactured, for slightly extra cost we love the quality!

11.01.2022 International dog day! Happy international dog day to all the beekeeping assistants (and not so assisting ) dogs out there!

10.01.2022 Whats your favourite honey flavour? Ours is definitely either Orange Blossom or Lucerne, two amazing flavoured honeys, in high demand too!

10.01.2022 So glad to see this great club still going! For 5 years I was a part of the UAHS beekeeping club and part of saving it from closure at the end of 2008! Thanks to the hard work of David Heinemann it continues today!

10.01.2022 Canola is well and truly starting to pop now, watch out for insecticide and fungicide usage if you’re in a rural location

07.01.2022 An AFB alert for beekeepers in the Lewiston area. Don’t know what you’re looking for? Join our November course so you can have the tools to protect your hive!

07.01.2022 With warm weather over the next couple of days we’ve been ensuring enough water for all our hives with about 800L going out that should help them keep cool

06.01.2022 The flow is well and truly on now!

06.01.2022 With the solstice now behind us bees will begin to think about expanding their brood. The key to fat bees is healthy nutrition so we’ve spent the afternoon making pollen patties to assist them with a piece of the puzzle!

05.01.2022 Well done to St Marys College right in here Adelaide!

03.01.2022 Hey all! We’re looking for blue gum sites in the Adelaide hills, if you’re in the Mylor, Echunga, Meadows area we would love to chat to you! Would need space for a number of hives and as always you will be remunerated with your own local honey! We are also looking to supply hives for Lucerne pollination, whether that’s dry land or irrigated in the South East. We can supply pollination hives free of charge and if you’re a honey lover happy to chuck a few kg your way too.

01.01.2022 Unfortunately there appears to be either spray drift or heat knocking out our 2020 nucs that we were building up for sale! We’ll be in contact over the next few days with those that had expressed interest!

01.01.2022 First they worked on a Mars rover project. Now they are trying to save Australia's bees. The blood-sucking parasite, Varroa mite, is deadly to bees. Austral...ia is the only continent free from Varroa. These purple hives use tiny cameras and artificial intelligence to detect any hitch-hiking mites.

01.01.2022 Holy moly this is a big swarm! With many blossoms opening early it would appear the swarm season has started with it!
