      I'd love to have a few more acres superkeen, and if I did they'd be planted up with a Eucalyptus combination for firewood and flowers for the bees I hope to start keeping in the future 🤞🏻
      Thanks for taking the time, as always, much appreciated 👍🏻

      ​@@Craig-Mitchell I was involved in a community forest project in Westport .
      About 30 people put 2k in and we bought 10ac of land we got the grant to plant native woodland .
      Would be very interesting to do something similar but for fire wood and bees maybe a mix of alder and eucalyptus

      I've had the stove on a few times, burning the Spruce and Larch in the latest video; it may still be a bit damp, though I'd still rather be burning Eucalyptus 🪵
      If you plant a wide range of Eucalyptus varieties, then as I say, the bees will have proper food more or less all year. They do hibernate, but if the weather is warm they wake up and need feeding. Eucalyptus flowers are much better food for them, than sugar substitutes 🐝
      Thanks once again for taking the time SuperKeen 👍🏻
