Waggle dance 🙌

Bees are amazingly clever and one of their more astounding abilities is the use of symbolic language.

The ‘waggle dance’ communicates the exact location of nearby nectar or pollen with distance and direction information. It allows a bee to quickly alert other foragers to good sources of food.

Spring blossoms ❤️

It’s an amazing time of year when the garden awakes with sudden floral beauty and our bees are so busy!

Hives are transformed almost overnight from hunkering down in Winter cold to bursting forth on warm sunny days foraging for nectar and pollen galore.

I always love seeing bees on our peach and nectarine blossoms… knowing in six months time we could be harvesting delicious fruit that was only made possible by the pollination work of a tiny little bee!

My treatment for Small Hive Beetle (SHB)

These pests aren’t too much of a issue in hives in the Southern Highlands but if I see too many I use the trays in the hive base.

I add oil to metal trays or hydrated lime powder to flat / corflute trays.
