Cheers Rodderick,
I’ll do that when I get back to Oz
How did you go getting bees?
I have a customer who has emailed me and they are not able to find anyone in NT selling bees.
I’m curious to know if you were successful, and can maybe share their details 
Thanks

Hi Faroe
I just got a nuc in Darwin about a month ago.
I got it from NT lumberjacks, you can google them
Cheers

Thanks for that
They don’t advertise the bees for sale, just their swarm traps from what I can see, but good to know:

Yes they don’t advertise.
I purchased two flow hives for myself for Xmas and had the same problem, couldn’t find any bees. I tried the two local honey producers and also the local beekeeping association but they don’t like to part with their bees.
It was by chance that I saw the ad for swarm collection so emailed and asked if I could get a swarm next time they caught one.
Fortunately he had nucs available so I was able to buy two.

Awesome
I am looking for someone in Darwin or rural area who has a flow hive - I am thinking of buying one but one to chat to a local first. @Scotts
Hi Shirley
Happy for you to come have a look and a chat

Hi Scott, I am considering a career change due to covid and wondering if I could ask you about how the flow hive has been going for your beekeeping.
