Aussie native worker bee - Trigona carbonaria - Sugarbag bee189 viewsThese guys definitely fit into the bushfood category. When our traditional land owners ate sugarbag, it was not just the honey, they also ate the brood, pollen stores and bees as well. The wax was used for many things from affixing tool and weapon tips to Didjeridu mouthpieces and repairs.the1after909

Aussie native bee hive - OATH hive192 viewsOATH = Original Australian Trigona Hive. Developed by Tim Heard, the bottom and middle sections can be separated and joined with the corresponding pieces of an empty OATH once the original colony is strong enough (usually done in spring), thus creating two separate colonies. The top section is the 'honey super'. This allows for extraction of honey with minimal disturbance to the brood. A 'honey super' is reccomended even if you don't intend to extract honey because it provides extra insulation for the hive.the1after909
