No its not for the honey, although it is fantastic. The main reason is that
these native Australian, stingless bees, are under threat from the
introduced bees and this has a negative affect on Australian flora and
fauna. Theyre sensitive little critters and need all the help they can get.

@FancyPantsElitist They may not sting but they sure can bite. The camera
man, who isn’t wearing one, can attest to this fact.

reptiles and other aust native fauna will be making its way here soon.

If they are stingless why are you wearing veils?

some interesting info but didnt state whether you cut the hive in half and
have two halfs for the new hives. Didnt see it in the video.

(Portuguese – Brazil) Achei o modelo de caixa bastante interessante. Não
entendi para que serve exatamente a abertura superior, mas de qualquer
forma parabéns por suas abelhas. Recentemente recebemos a visita de um
criador de abelhas aí da Austrália – Sr. Robert Lutrell. Foi uma troca de
experiências incrível. No Brasil possuímos uma variedade muito grande de
espécies de meliponas. Sinto muito orgulho de ser meliponicultor e saber
que estou contribuindo com a natureza de alguma forma.
