25.01.2022 This video was sent to me by one of our honey lovers in the Brookwater area. While these girls look like they are rummaging through a scrap heap they are actually collecting pollen. Bees build up an electrostatic charge on the tiny hair follicles all over their body during flight, when they land on a flower they ingest the nectar but the pollen sticks to their body like a magnet. They will then stroke their bodies with their back legs and collect the pollen in their pollen sacks. Beautiful. Thanks Debbie for the video.

12.01.2022 That feeling when you’ve gone to the supermarket and your favourite specials are on. Look at the pollen baskets on this little native stingless bee. Tetragonula Carbonaria, Spring 2020.

09.01.2022 To all of my loyal honey loving friends, Four Bees honey now has some of ‘nature’s little wonders’ beautiful golden nectar available . It has been a little while coming but we always ensure that we never take more of this valuable resource from our bees than they can spare for us to share. As an Agricultural Scientist as well as a hobby Apiarist my two passions work hand in hand, so to me our bees well being is of the highest importance. Sharing the honey with our cu...stomers gives us some capital to invest further into maintaining and helping the most important insect on our planet with regards to our food security. We don’t own a large yacht, we don’t live by the sea we are just a family of four with a passion for Bees. Through the last year or so my hobby has grown from a couple of hives in my yard to a passion for the bees that has the Four B family being custodians of approximately 2 million bees, and growing fast. We have updated our honey extracting processes and now have our own insulated honey extracting room with a full compliment of food grade, stainless steel equipment, we have a HACCP program in place (tech term for a food safety program) and anyone involved in the handling of our honey has had full COVID-19 safety training and is temperature checked before entering the honey room. Gloves, aprons and masks are also worn by all involved whilst in the honey room as an extra precaution. There are a lot of hobbyist honey sellers out there that don’t have these protocols in place, but before I branched off into the field of the sciences, I was Operations Manager of a food processing facility and have extensive training in food safety and hygiene. Therefore you can rest assured that our honey pure, cold filtered and 100% pure Australian honey. And safe!! Due to the increased demands extra hives has taken on my spare time the delivery of our beautiful honey to you has imposed some time constraints for me. My daughter is currently studying and has a bit of spare time as COVID-19 has made it hard for her to get any part time work. So Caitlin Braga will be taking care of the delivery side for Four Bees Honey (She is the Third Bee). She has set up a lovely little Facebook page called ‘Honey Drop’ and can work with you for all your honey needs. We currently have the long awaited Macadamia honey, it’s rich, thick and a lovely amber colour with a distinct citrus note, which came as a bit of a surprise. I also have some light golden mixed blossom from the Springfield and Camira area. You can still contact me if you like particularly for any technical information, but it would be best for you to LIKE and FOLLOW her page. The Honey Drop Price has gone up a little, due to drought, fires and other factors but I’ve told Caitlin Braga to look after my regular customers. Thanks to all our loyal customers, Tony Braga

01.01.2022 Like many flowers in the Asteraceae family the sunflower is not a single flower but hundreds of individual flowers in an inflorescence called a capitulum. Bees just love them, how many bees do you see on this splendid example?
