This is a such different way to split a colony I ever seen. I'm from Brazil and I love our native bees. These bees you are handling looks like our Leurotrigona muelleri (We call "Mirim Lambe olhos"). I have some species in my Garden such as Mandaçaia, Manduri, Jataí, Mirim Droryana, Uruçu Amarela and I recently captured other specie called Tubuna. Nice work with the bees man! Keep doing this great job!
Good morning Alex I really appreciate your content very interesting and informative. I'm actually after some advice if you don't mind. I saw a newly hatched tc princess on the outside of one of my hives yesterday(the hive where it appearsshe came from has an active queen). I thought I'd just watch her until another bee attacked her so I rescued her and put her in an old eduction box by herself with a little pollen and a little honey, blocked all the holes and put in my house. I was hoping to leave her in there alone for a few days or so, so she feels like it's her home. And then spray a little sugar water and hook it up to another hive, hoping she'll mate and start making her own brood. Have you ever tried or heard of this being successful? Am i wasting my time or is there anything else I could be doing differently? Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Please kindly let me know what you think. Cheers brett
@brettwhite8804 no harm in trying what you propose. She's going to die anyway so you may as well play around and find out. I think she'd be extremely lucky to survive in a freshly connected eduction but you never know.
@1froyoo not in Tassie sorry. There are reports of stingless bees as far south as Bega NSW. They get along fine with honey bees. The honey bees are smart enough not to mess with the native bees. 😄
Awesome again Alex. Always love seeing your videos especially Australis their colonies look like Rice Bubbles.👍🐝🍯
@@TrickyTrev01 cheers Trev. More coming shortly 👌
Good stuff Alex, they are going very well. All the best for Xmas and have a great new year mate.

@gilmarcordeirojunior1526 thankyou 😁. The Austroplebeia Australis bees are very gentle and split well vertically or horizontally
Great work there Alex. Awesome filming of the AA'S

Thank you for getting back to me.
I really appreciate it.
Ok I'll try, see what happens and I'll let you know.
@brettwhite8804 give it a shot mate 👌
Are they in Tassie too? Do they get along with European honey bees?
