I was reading up about the pristine Kangaroo island off the coast of South Australia.

Ligurian bees! Introduced in the 1800s from Italy.
Apparently like no other bees anywhere else in the world!

I’m going to kangaroo island later in year but in meantime, will order their honey to see what it’s all about. Once I get the order I will give my opinion.

Seems some things need isolation to survive in Cell block D

Australian bees seem to reflect the Australian way of life. There was a study done on bees and Australian bees started later in the mornings than other bees and visited less flowers than european bees during the day.

My favorite bee is the blue banded bee, I won an award for a photograph of a blue banded bee in flight.

Australian bees honey is much sweeter but production is very low. They also not as robust as Euro bees.

We have plenty of  green bees here, they go for tomato plants flowers.
