25.01.2022 ALDI Australia , BIG W and Bunnings Warehouse Australia and other corporations have caught the bee buzz and are selling insect hotels for Christmas. For the gen...eral public to be spending more time in their garden, often as a family, looking at what invertebrates live there, and to be interested in providing habitat for native bees, or even being aware of them, this is a positive big step. However, according to native bee scientist native Kit Prendergast, who has been researching bee hotels, most of these store-bought bee hotel designs are terrible and can do more harm than good. They are too shallow, the holes too large, they use poor materials, and have useless compartments. There is also a risk that imported wood has been fumigated with insecticides. They could be at best not be used by bees, or at worse represent death traps for any bees that do use them. To learn what makes a good hotel, how to make one, and other evidence-based information on native bees and how we can help them, you can refer to Creating a Haven for Native Bees , a book by native bee scientist Kit Prendergast. It can be purchased by emailing [email protected] Also follow Native Bee Nick on instagram here https://instagram.com/nativebeenick?igshid=1m5t3e7qqqpz4 and YouTube. https://youtu.be/o2BQzETUSq4 Please Share this important information Save the Bees Australia is consulting with scientists at the moment to get some made. With profits going to native bee research. https://entomologistlounge.wordpress.com//insect-hotels-a/

22.01.2022 Why is sugar bad? On the left is a brain after eating sugar. On the right side is a brain after taking cocaine. Notice the similarities? The short-term reward circuitry in the brain that enhances dopamine production is directly enhanced by sugar consumption,

21.01.2022 Our garlic industry is rallying after cheap imports in the 1990s caused a rapid decline in local production. There are a number of good reasons to BUY AUSSIE GARLIC, no reasons not to! #nofarmersnofood Note: we do have some white Australian varieties of garlic that are naturally white and very good, the point is, don't buy the imported Chinese and Mexican stuff.

17.01.2022 Continuing our Sugar topic, the next question is "What about Fruit"? We have all been told fruit is good for us and we should be eating 2 pieces a day. But is that really the truth? I highly recommend you watch this video before you decide. It is about 20mins long but I believe its worth watching for the benefit of your long term health. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6LL92Zs5L0

14.01.2022 Composting of your food scraps is one of the best things you can do to help the environment. Some facts: Australians throw out up to 20% of the food they buy. ... Food waste costs the Australian economy $20 billion each year. Over 5 million tonnes of food ends up as landfill, enough to fill 9,000 Olympic sized swimming pools. By sending this food waste to landfill, Australians are generating methane equivalent to around 6.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. Now I understand composting is not always easy and the smell can often put people off especially if they live in a small suburban block. But now a small team of Australian waste warriors and soil stewards invented "Subpod". This has to be one of the cheapest and easiest compost systems I have ever seen. Check it out for yourself. https://subpod.com/ P.s. I have no affiliation with these guys, just seen this and thought it was pretty amazing!

10.01.2022 While I don't agree with everything in this article, it is an interesting read!
