Hi all
This message is probably directed more at the temperate and tropical
zone people who have knowledge of the australian acacia flowers.
In my part of south africa we have a bit of an invasion of the
australina acacia, acacia longifolia. I have four beehives in an area
surrounded bby this plant that are doing mindblowingly well. (Middle
of winter and have just filled a deep super each in two weeks.)
The only reason I can think of for this happening is the acacia's
which are in flower. The problem is that I have been told that acacia
l is only good for pollen?
Any comments?
Also, these bees are rather aggressive. I opened one hive and they
went AWOL stinging things up to a hundred meters away, so maybe
whatever flow it is it has contaminants of isopentyl acetate or
something in it too?
Keep well
Garth
