This video shows how to inspect native stingless bee hives to see how they are doing after splitting several months earlier.
Our first video on Splitting a Native bee hive can be seen here: http://youtu.be/IGCAK4q7MiA

That was really interesting. Good to see that all the colonies have survived.
Hi Mark
Thanks for the update on the bees. I have recommended your native bee clips to others as very informative.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get some of the beeswax and propolis as I want to do a project with my boys at Boys Brigade. I travel to Brighton once a fortnight on a Wednesday.
Thanks again
Okay, I'll take three hives and two of the old fellas – man that bloke knows his bees. (Oh, and maybe on e of the dogs.)
Very interesting, Mark! I have never seen those kind of bees before!
That was really informative Mark. Many thanks for sharing.
Hi
Im from Sydney and Im looking to purchase a setup but unsure which one to get (Carbonaria, Australis or Hockinsi species,)
can you tell me the different between species?

I heard October mentioned in the video. Is that the prefered time to split an Australian stingless native behive in south east Queensland (Brisbane) ?
Hii bro great vid! Make more vid about the stingless bee, love it.
G'day Mark & Kevin, question about the brood. After splitting, how do the bees rebuild the brood ? As in, do they just rebuild the cut half with semi circle shaped spirals ? Or do they make new full spirals in the empty section of box ? Cheers.
