About this product

Product Information

Native stingless bees are one of nature's most wonderful gifts. Our passion is native beekeeping, and we enjoy making it easy for others to gain the knowledge and confidence to look after and be enriched by these fabulous little creatures. This is the sole purpose for preparing this guide. Based on my own years of experience and those of my friends I have prepared this simple guide for first time hive owners, and for those who want to progress into native beekeeping. Our methods are based around those so rigorously researched, tested and wonderfully presented by Tim Heard in his book 'The Australian Native Bee Book'. This easy to read book contains a wealth of knowledge, and should be studied by anyone wishing to progress from owning a hive to native beekeeping, undertaking such practices as honey harvesting and hive propagation. The more you read and understand about the biology of native bees and in particular native stingless bees, the better prepared you will be to become a native beekeeper. As with any profession or trade, once you become proficient, you make small adjustments to the practices and procedures to what works consistently well for you, while maintaining the core principles - it can be the same for native beekeeping. This guide sets out what works consistently well for us, and for which advice is constantly given to hundreds of now successful hive owners. It is divided into two parts. The first part sets out what you need to know to become a hive owner of Tetragonula carbonaria, Tetragonula hockingsi and Austroplebeia australis. The second part deals with more advanced native beekeeping practices for Tetragonula carbonaria and Tetragonula hockingsi.

Interesting read. Could have been more helpful with scientific evidence.
I need to be able to do successful eduction duplication of Carbonaria hives. Up until this year, I had not been successful in doing effective eductions. However, my latest effort was successful. And, related to this successful eduction, I wanted to glean the very latest findings/feelings on the success of daughter hives removed from the mother hive. For this reason alone, I bought the Greg Coonan book. The thrust of my requirement related to: would the successful duplication continue long term. (With most of the previous eductions, they started well, but then simply faded away.) Therefore, the sections on hive relocation (p22), and co-location of hives (p23) were highly relevant. Tho, am not sure that some of the points made were entirely valid. It would have been nice to have seen relevant scientific evidence. Related to all of the above, is the matter of swarms. I am sure that swarms, one way or another are directly involved in the eduction process. Whilst the book covered the matter of swarms, I did not find it particularly useful in clearing the fog surrounding the matter. Read full review
