People keep asking me when will we have honey to sell again.
Varroa is now endemic in Australia!
Together with the Small Hive Beetle also endemic, maintaining bee colonies has becoming demanding.
This is a photo of Apis mellifera and the Varroa destructa mite.

We were wondering what the buzzing was around the back lawn.
Also, what was making the small piles of dirt! Solitary Blue banded bees have invaded. They do make nest near each other.

Bees are going well at present. Had to put more supers on as they have been hanging out in this hot humid weather.

Just a couple of non related items. Making Sauerkraut from our own cabbages, as it's another drizzly day. The other photo is of a relationship between Opa and Finn under the blueberry net. Opa picking and Finn eating. Loves the Blueberries straight off the bush

The poor Bunya didn't like the storm the other night. 20+cm diameter log, 8m log from the 15m tree.
It didn't have a good tap root unlike the one that is still standing behind it. The softwood timber is useful for acoustic boards for string instruments and also used to be for making butter boxes(?).
This was the first tree to drop some bunya cones this year.

Tetragonula, stingless native bees are back in the raspberry patch gathering nectar and pollen. Have let the Diakon radish and other vegetables flower to save seed.
Learnt a lot at the Tocal Bee day such that they travel less that half a km from their hive to source food. That means Ill have a look for tree hollows nearby.

So glad we have some bees back to pollinate the pomegranates now in full bloom. Collecting lots of pollen to feed their young.

Our rainforestr davidson plum trees are stasrting to flower, it will be interesting to see how they go this year. Who knows what the weather will bring? Some predictions suggest La Nina, others a hot dry summer.

The python is waking up! Great to see it in our roof space still keeping the rodents and marsupials out of our roof space.
The last few warmer days has nade it restless.

16/07/2024

The Yacons are now ready to harvest as the tops are dying off in the cold. Plenty of tubers for sale $15 a Kilo.
Replant nodules for sale $10 each stem which has 10 or more nodules for growing new plants.

It's May and the rain is here to stay for a while. The creek this morning so no go as no rocks showing! Not the highest it has ever been as we have seen debris half way up the hill one time when we came bak from Sydney. 90mm in 48hrs so far.

21/04/2024

Anothwer 72mm rain in the last 24 hrs, this on top of the 250mm a week ago has dramatically changed the level of the water table.

19/04/2024

Busy few days before next rain doing some pile burns.
Three Photos of what to do and what NOT to burn.
The photo with the cut timber shows one pile that was too big to burn and provided some good fire wood. The other photos shows a small manageable pile that took about 2 hours to burn completely. The other photo is off a heap put to gether by the clearer which needs to be broken up to smaller piles, lots of soil.
We have now safely done three to four piles over the last four nights. The way to go in clearing up!

03/04/2024

Even with the 7mm the other day we managed to get 5 pile burns done before the 75mm drenching tonight.

01/04/2024

Did a sugar dusting on some of the frames which dislodged a few Varroa mites in red 2nd photo. great Queen cell nearly ready to hatch in a split hive.

28/03/2024

Harvested the last of the edamame and planted the first lot of sugar snap peas. Still very dry in our area with only occasioanl showers.
Lots of pile burns to do when the fire restrictions end Sunday. Great care and attention to weather predictions . will be needed due to the dry.
I guess there will be more fire calls until there is some drenching rain, hopefully not as bad as the recent Pindimar fire.

06/02/2024

After a few months with little or no rain we have the current weather pattern.
A blocking high in the Bight and a squeeze from a high NW of NZ.
Moist tropical air coming from the tropics meeting cold southerly air could bring some worthwhile rain and possibly even form a Low off the East coast.

05/02/2024

The first Bunya pine nuts on the ground.
Something, probably Flying foxes has already been into one, just one nut left.
Just as well the trees are not near any paths as not good landing on ones head.

Our Story

The ever changing story!

Although we still have chooks for ourselves we have moved more into honey production. With the two horses agisted on the farm came contact with restaurants in Sydney and a weekly delivery of produce. Lemonade Fruit are a great hit as are blood oranges and ripe star fruit. Chefs are keen to buy direct from us as they receive organically grown product at peak flavour. Fruit that is picked ripe, not green, and not stored in cool rooms for days/weeks.

Truly free range eggs. Our chooks are like their wild ancestors and can free range in the bush and orchard. Their poos fertilize over 100 different edible plants/fruits. Bees do the pollination to produce delicious local honey.Our preserves and chocolates are made using home grown ingredients, small batch processing ensures that the aromatics are preserved too.
