Native Australian Bees - Buzzy oath, mate - a podcast by Jye Smith, Benjamin Durie

Did you know we have our very own bees here in Australia?

Dr. Tim Heard is an entomologist and ex-CSIRO research scientist. He has been keeping Australian native stingless bees since 1985 when he transferred his first hive from a cut-down tree into a wooden box. Tim now runs Sugarbag Bees and in this episode joins us to unpack the practicalities of being a native bee beekeeper. Where to start, where to place them and what to look out for.
