In this video, we demonstrate how to collect honey from Australian native bees using a honey super. How to remove a honey super from a native beehive and also how to add a honey super to an existing hive. On our property, we have 18 native stingless beehives which are owned and maintained by my uncle and in return, the bees pollinate our fruit and vegetables – it’s a win-win and what’s more, they don’t sting! Cheers 🙂

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂
I am from Indonesia to help support my channel
A lifesaver for many a soul lost in the bush who knows about them.
I have trigona honey bee 30-50 kg per month, anyone to buy it??
I found this channel because I started looking up keeping bees. I'm in the US and I'm starting with Buckfast and Italian bees.. most sources won't even tell you about Australian Stingless bees as a honey bee. This was awesome to see and watch.
they look like flys
This is so amazing for sure, Congrats very much, i would try this in our African native bees
I know this is an old video, but when you say honey port is like a mead? Like we get in the UK. I'm thinking about having a hive or two eventually. One native the other European honey bee.
Very interesting to see your videos. For how much did you buy your 3 acres of property?
Why don't we see them in Europe ?
Mantap..salam kenal dari Indonesia
Very interesting video. Thank you.
Well good to watch your valuable informative video about string less bee.i have few questions.1.please described the bee hive full measurements.
2.how did you increase this colony.
3.how to catch those bee from nature.
4.what is the challenge to keep them healthy.
I keep european bees. I love discovering something completely new! Really interesting video.
I'm going to research but thought I might ask. How did indigenous Australians collect the honey from native bees? I have a 100 plus year old pine tree that is to all appearances dead except for when you look way up high. I call it my Whomping willow. Native bees have made a home in it's base for the past 11 years. I've seen wasps and birds all try to feast on them but they continue to thrive. I don't want the honey as I'm too scared to upset the natural balance. The fact I wake up each day in Kangaroo Point, inner city Brisbane and can view these beauties amazes me.
I just started beekeeping, so it's interesting to see the differences. There definitely seems to be a big difference in the capacity for mass production between the two.
I am curious why the boxes are so thick? I could see if it was for cold insulation, but seems pretty warm where those bees live.
Thank you for this video. We've had a hive in an old log in the yard for years but have only just got a box which we've attached and they are building in their new home. Can't wait til we have some honey to harvest.
Great video! Thanks! I have a question – what do you do with the pods after the honey has fallen out?
What material is your bee hive made of?
Is your uncle in WitSec?
A lot of crushed bees in those lids.
I enjoy all the videos, but I Really enjoyed watching this.
Great video! Now I understand how you get the honey. Was thinking of getting native bees but couldn't work it out.
unreal!
WHUCH COUNTRY YOU ARE SIR
Big thumbs up for your Big efforts
Great video, it look like your uncle had a bee suite on , why if the bees dont sting ?
mantap
Hi how much honey does 1 hive give you each year?
