23.01.2022 For those who do not have a honey super on their social stingless native bee, put it on now as there is much food gathered between now and the time to split a hive. It is important to remember that splitting is best done once a year or every two years depending on the strength of the bees genetics and food availability for the bees, in your area.
18.01.2022 Well another day of beekeeping. Checking to see how hives are going. The temperature has dropped a lot since summertime, but the pests of native bees are still active...... unfortunately. One pest, the syrphid fly hovers around the hive looking for a place to land and lay its eggs. Always looking for a chink in the armour so to speak. Another pest, the assasin bug crawls over the hive looking for any bees it can capture. Even during days of rain the native bees are flying. I have noticed that a low temperature is the most critical factor in stopping bees flying out to gather pollen, nectar and propolis.
16.01.2022 Just uploaded some new photos on my facebook page. The cover photo and the second photo are both taken of the Australian stingless native bee species Tetragonula carbonaria. The main photo shows multiple layers of brood surrounded by lots if honey. This is rather unusual as pollen features as a main food store close to the brood. Certainly this is the case in the vicinity of the hives entrance and may also be stored well around the brood inside the hive.
15.01.2022 Good evening to all who are interested in native bees. I specialise in the social stingless variety such as the Tetragonula carbonaria, Tetragonula hockingsi, and the Austroplebia australis. Today was a honey extraction day where I extracted 850 grams from one hive and the other 650 grams. The latter was only 3/4 full. I could have got a greater yield if they had not collected and stored so much pollen in the honey super(upper box (3rd box)). But I do enjoy eating the pollen ...too. Besides, if I only wanted honey it is only a matter of a minor redesign to achieve this. I only use the non destructive method to extract the honey. That is a bit more laborious but saves killing thousands of bees which happen when you just destroy the honeypots with any device while the bees are in the block of honey. Following, are some photos of the block of honey and pollen. It is a magic creation by these little bees. See more

15.01.2022 This is a video of the honeybee swarm I collected today
14.01.2022 Well, spring is in the air and how better to find this out than seeing the bees increase their activity. One way they show this, based on rising temperatures are bees being more busy flying off in search of food- pollen and nectar. It is a time of plenty. Flowering at springtime means native bees and honeybees are working as hard as they can. Swarming behaviour is normal. Just in the last two weeks I have captured many swarms of honeybees. With the native bees, swarming as a means of establishing new colonies is not so obvious. I do not think that the study of swarming of Australian stingless native bees is as obvious or as well studied as with honeybees. Splitting of honeybees and native bees is best done from now on, and over the next 3 to 4 months, this will ensure no losses of bees in your hive to swarming.
12.01.2022 Well it is definitely autumn time now. Not cold enough for the syrphid fly to be inactive. The native bees are starting their foraging for nectar, pollen and propolis later in the morning and end their foraging earlier in the afternoon/ evening. This is a god reason to keep your native beehive in full sun until at least September.
08.01.2022 As it is wintertime now and there is still a lot of flowering, it sure is a good time to add a third level to your native beehive. That is, if you do not already have a honey super added to your hive. The syrphid fly and small hive beetle are still active now, but no where as much as in the warmer months. Do not worry about a lack of much activity in your hive on a day like today because they prefer warm to hot days. So ensure your hive receives as much of the sunlight falling on us. This is because the warmer they are the more vigorous the bee colony.
02.01.2022 Well, what a busy springtime. Between splitting native beehives and extracting honey from them......and..... collecting swarms of honeybees. There is not much time for anything else. It’s all fun though. Today I collected another swarm of honeybees, yesterday got 2 swarms of honeybees. I will add some photos later.
