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 to the bee forum, glad you found us.
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.
Welcome Zollybee! Have you found the special section of the forum for down-under beekeepers?
