Australian Native Stingless Bees...

Russell and I went to an Open Day for Bees yesterday... We've had a native beehive since October 2011 and have not split it. Which also means we've never looked inside. They are incredible little creatures, that's for sure!

Yesterday, Dr Tim Heard opened up two of his hives. He's renowned for his very extensive knowledge on all things related to Native Bees. Gave me the confidence to try the same with ours in Spring, October probably.

Looking forward to seeing inside ours. Here's a few pictures of Tim's hives...

Blessings,

Smaller hive just split...

A stopper at the entrance for traveling...

Natives don't just use wax but also plant resin...

Beautiful bees building...
