Title: Hello from Tassie
Post by: Zollybee on February 23, 2013, 08:06:12 pm

Hello, I live in northern Tasmania and started out with with bees  only 3 years ago when i bought 4 old hives off a fella selling up. I have slowly built them up to a dozen hives  after doing some splits and getting 2 swarms from a friend this year. I've also lost a couple along the way  :oops:  Though they produce a lovely honey here on the farm this season I had the opportunity to take 6 hives up to a spot in some temperate rainforest to a Leatherwood site this year which has been great!  :)

Another Tasmanian!!!!
We'll soon have enough to gang up a bit!  Welcome to the forum.  You will find plenty of helpful advice and friends here.  And thanks for the reminder, I must get my hands on some fresh Leatherwood Honey.  A couple of guys were out at Oonah today in the misty rain taking the full supers off.  Apparently they took a hammering  :lau:  (I'll give them a couple of days to itch and extract)

Thank you for the welcome!!   :)
I got to spin off the 1st lot of leatherwood last week.  It perfumed the house with that most divine smell of leatherwood and the honey tastes fantastic. I haven't worked this out yet but why is it that your own honey always tastes better lol

Welcome I love the fact that your today is my tomorrow.

Some day we will have to find a way to swap honey. Would love to try something new.

Good luck.
