Michael Cahill - Try posting your enquiries about a hive here rather than sending out an email which will disappear into the ether. Check out the link WEBSITES AND INFORMATION

You might like to contact some of the suppliers of hives directly. They don't come onto this website.

Don't forget to check out the WEBSITES AND INFORMATION (link at the top of the page under "pages") every now and then.

If anyone finds some good sites please share! and I will add them to the list.

Program on native bees - see HERE for more information.

And HERE for a previous article.

Interesting that Gardening Australia still refer to them as Trigona carbonaria instead of Tetragonula c. I understood the name change came in in 2007.

Should have twigged to that one :) That's my bees.

Sorry Lissa, I mean Tetragonula carbonaria :-)

Extremely cool! :D

I'm not familiar with the Tetra. I've tried searching it Steve with no luck. Does it have another name?

I don't seem to get the Carpenter bees here.

There was a smallish black bee (the size of the Leaf Cutter) getting around my yard a few weeks back but it was too fast for me to get a photo of it.

I had atleast four species of bees at the same time on a Lillypilly on the weekend... Tetra, Blue banded, honey bee, and a few Great Carpenters. Pretty cool I thought.

Hello everyone! We have just started two citizen-science bee monitoring projects via the wonderful Bowerbird website. Bowerbird allows you to upload pictures and have them identified by experts and naturalists. If you have any pics of insects on plants in community or private gardens, please upload them along with location information to:
http://bowerbird.org.au/projects/3425" height="20" border="0" width="20"/> http://bowerbird.org.au/projects/3425
The second project is focused on monitoring the distribution of the exotic African carder bee. If you have pictures of African carder bees (or suspected carder bees), please upload them to:
http://bowerbird.org.au/projects/3426" height="20" border="0" width="20"/> http://bowerbird.org.au/projects/3426
Old photos are also welcome,as long as they contain EXIF (location ) data.
For info on identifying carder bees, see: http://www.tanyalatty.com/african-carder-bee-search" height="20" border="0" width="20"/> http://www.tanyalatty.com/african-carder-bee-search
