Native Bees of Queensland Poster | Etsy
Have done a lot of hands on and also coupled with diploma courses on entomology. There is a relatively close for us local Australian bee club that meets once a month. So yes we are very interested in both Austroplebeia & Tetragonula. We want to be sure that the native bees we have here are not going to get smashed by us introducing other bees hives mentioned. We have researched as much as we can.
We are just so protected from all the nasties that the world has to deal with concerning bees.
Very common for a native bee colony that is in a hollow log to be sold for about $40 but we want hives. Our next step is to try one hive very soon. It must be stingless. Water lilies are a bees best friend. We get so much blossom here from native trees and our garden. It is just a must do thing for us.
