Bees

That sore throat has returned! I must need to eat the jam more regularly!

Native Stingless Bees are quite common around Darwin. We have a nest in an old Didgeridoo in our back yard, so I've been thinking about ways of getting some real natural honey and have decided that I'll try and split the nest and start a hive.
Now I think this is a great idea but Sam was suitably unimpressed! I have a few ideas of how I can do this using recycled gear but I'll be ordering some literature from the Australian Native Bee Research Centre (there is one you know) just to make sure I'm doing it right.
