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

Solanum centrale seedling149 viewsThis is my first Solanum centrale seedling, so far, two have germinated, one has damped off and will most probably cark it but the one pictured is responding well.
Germination took approx five weeks but growth has been fast. At first it looked just like a "normal" tomato seedling until the first true leaves emerged which are oval, slightly hairy and little spines are beginning to appear on the stem. planthunter

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

Inside an Aussie stingless bee hive (species - Trigona Carbonaria).186 viewsThis is the bottom half of my hive, split from the top half and ready to be married to a new top. Hence creating two new colonies. In the center you can see the brood. This species build their brood in a spiral pattern. Around that, you can see honey and pollen stores and of course, many bees. This hive design and method of splitting to propagate new colonies was developed by Tim Heard. See his website www.sugarbag.net for more information.the1after909
