This was confusing, without enough detailed explanation Entrance at the top to see the bees entering. The split in the second (larger) box has no separation bars for splitting? First I've seen with a honey "super" on the bottom! (It's not really a super if it's not on top lol). Why on the bottom? It looked like the clear panel was complete, above the honey. How do the bees get down there?

Very interesting video. Just learned about Mariola bees as they are called in Central America and I'm trying to find out if they could do well in south Texas. Great video, very informative.

I feel very blessed to have multiple types of native bees on my property. I think it's because I'm one of only a few in the area that DOESN'T use any chemicals. There's at least half a dozen different types of natives here, including lots of bluebanded darlings. All different types, all different sizes, from big to tiny. Amazing to find in a farming community, big commercial farms around, lots of chemicals used. My place seems more of a sanctuary for them. My other place over an hour away is a full bush block. I have seen the Blue bands there too, along with many others. One day about 5 or 6 yrs ago when I was taking a closer look at the native smaller plants, I saw something I never thought I would see outside of a book or my dreams. I watched for a couple of fleeting minutes a Neon Blue Cuckoo Bee. No mistake! To this day I am still awe-inspired by that sight. This is not QLD or Northern NSW or near the coast. This is inland Southern NSW. Hot summers to well above 45°c in the shade and winters from mild -3°c to -8°c frosts. Pretty tough little blighters aren't they? Some other natives even try nesting in the wheel hub of the trailer that hasn't moved for the last 3yrs. I don't know where you're situated, but best of luck from Southern NSW 🐝🇭🇲🦘🙏🦘🇭🇲🐝

Siip.. Mantap.. Semoga Tambah Lancar & Sukses.

Thanks for sharing, really interesting! Lost a hive recently but it has new inhabitants and they seem to be cleaning it out. Marvellous little girls!

I remember seeing you guys at the feast of the senses but if you’re visiting Africa be extremely careful because you’re never going know when you’re going to see their hostile counterpart’s nicknamed killer bees

Have you got a jig for the finger joints?

Love your work.

Appreciated try...but does those wax solve?...

what's the size of your native box hive?

Thank you

I can be petting them all day. So cute! So many! So sweet! Lick me own finger every morning is the life could be a dream!

may I know what species is this?

Hi Nick I am trying to find someone who can assist me with getting a hive of native stingless bees for my flower farm located on the NSW South Coast. Can you advise if there is anyone that you are aware of that would have a hive split available later this year? I watched your episode here about Canberra and that you didn’t usually send bees down this way and am unsure whether this many years later whether you do this now. Many Thanks Theresa

Is there a question and answer I can join in I have a few questions thanks @ 0:07 Bali native stingless bees

Is everything okay Nick? Us stingless lovers are wondering if you are all okay and well

Hi, could you please help me with how much stingless bee honey I should ingest daily?

essa também e uma boa ideia , parabéns

Where can I buy some organic stingless bee honey

Salam satu hobi, saya dari indonesia🥰🥰🥰😍

Any reason why the thickness is thick? To keep it warm inside the hive or something?

Surprise! My 3620 has been used for intermittent light DIY work and it's broken in the same place.

Where would one buy pure stingless bee Honey

It looks like they chased that little phorid fly back out of the entrance. They certainly move fast compared to the native bees. Nice little video Nick thanks for sharing 👍🐝🍯

Stingless bee honey is the only honey which is categorized as medicine and the rest of honeys are categorized as food

Cheers mate! Some great ideas and yes simple is usually an important part of a successful idea 👍

Good job amazing

If you could share a blueprint of it sir along with how to build strong hive boxes, that would be great! Thanks in advance

Wow, nice work! 👍

Manuka is overrated

Hi Nick, how are you going? Are you still doing bee research and development? I live in Queensland and have carbonaria hives. I’ve noticed a decline in local tree hives. Large trees that once had hives now are empty. Have you heard of this and what would cause this? Only cause I have concerns about something happening to my hives.

I love the hoola hoop!

Bob I have a hive from your son. It’s just failed miserably after many many years. I’ve poured boiling water over to kill the larvae but how best to clean it up. What do you suggest?

hola amigo tu video es genial saludos desde panama por cierto tome tu modelo para mis abejas gracias

4:27 prevention of soldier fly is the same as mimic fly - but what is the prevention for mimic fly? I watched the mimic fly part a number of times and it does clearly state its a secondary issue but I still don't detect any specific prevention? I've resorted to patrolling my hives and administering a highly directional narrow tube spray onto the mimic flies (have killed about 6 over the past week) but its very time consuming and I won't be able to continue this when back at work, and am trying to get my hives back to maximum health but the phorids keep hanging around. I've been advised not to use a phorid fly trap as it was explained this might just keep brining more phorids, but I'm starting to run out of ideas (and am trying to divide my time between my 3 year old and saving our 2 hives) =(

Hi Nick what happens to the hives without a queen? Will one appear on its own? Thanks

Thanks for sharing. How far did you have to seperate the micro hive from the original hive?

Sir,stingless bee honey good for gas and acid reflux?

I understand that you that you have deducted from the mother hive (log), I am not exactly sure where the added brood has come from. I am still learning about how to help our little native bees.

Menarik.Terimakasih informasinya pak.

Great video, is that a pet dingo at 8:40?

Hi Nick. Can you recommend a place I can purchase a good quality hive from? Thanks.
