    My native bees are settling in quite well, they are very much like me , when the weathers not good they go back to bed.
    I didnt relise they were so small, nothing like imported honey bees. hope they pollinate my plants well.

    Did the people you bought them from give you advice, like whereabout you should situate the hive?

    .....& more importantly, got any pics?

    We are located near Parramatta(Sydney) and yes i got them from Zabel, they have settled in quite well and are fasinating to watch.
    They supply all the info you need, placement & direction and will answer any questions you have.
    Dont have any pictures yet, you need to give them a month to settle into theyre new home, but do a search on native bees, theres lots of info and lots of photos, also on youtube there's some video of them and others.

    Terryd......I'd love to see some photos of your native bee set up when you get the opportunity.

    Been really busy with work Gary, work in the rail industry as an auditor. Never had to travel so much before.

    So only really started to get stuck into the yard and aquaponics again. Have to do some updates of my systems and other garden setups.
