Haha, I would not want 10s of thousands of Matt Damon buzzing around that’s for sure.
So @Rmcpb by that rationale would running two brood boxes be beneficial?
@Rodderick I might consider some additional shading trees. I’ll also look at adding flowering dates to my list below.
With regards to planting additional bee ‘food’, I’ve actually asked this question as well (see below). I have compiled a list (I call it my plant tome) of 74 native local plants that are beneficial to birds, butterflies etc inc 24 that are specifically known as winners with bees. Lots of Acacias, Grevilleas, Leptospermum, Banksia etc. The dam wall, the bit in the blue circle and the area under the power lines are all earmarked for re-vegetation from the list as well as some areas that are not shown in that photo.
Thanks everyone
