"When" and "When Not To" - Bee Hive Splits - Ep 2
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Presented by Peter Clarke - Envirotube and WildThings. Directed by Howard Jackson, Wildhoop Productions
Part of Peter's work involves splitting the hives, a process that requires him to physically divide the hive into two parts so that a new hive can be created while the old one regenerates.
"I'm a bee midwife. I just love it," he said.
"Every day I go to work during bee splitting season - it's something very special. I'm creating life. How many people at work can say that?"
Just like European bees, native stingless bees have queens, workers and drones.
However they are not beholden to the traditional bee hierarchy and will simply find a new queen for the hive if required.
Another difference is in the honey that they create, which is much thinner compared to regular honey because native bees do not extract the water from pollen.
Often known as sugarbag, it tastes like lemon or eucalyptus.
The hive wax is often used by Indigenous Australians as a mouthpiece for didgeridoos as well as a natural glue agent.
To find out how you can become a native stingless bee keeper, visit the Wild Things NSW website.

Use an empty bottle to remove all the bees into it so that most of the bees r not harmed and will be safe in the bottle Keep the bottles mouth into to entrance of the hive and hit the box for 3-5 minutes most of the bees will go into the bottle
one of these people will sue you when they are stung in the eye-no protection for these people-dumb move on your part

Do some research before commenting, you make yourself to look like a fool. I'll give you a hint to start off, Tetragonula Carbonaria/Hockingsi.
