Bees are plugging along filling the sectional frames
Went down to Margs recently and found a very similar product, same size square but only one sided, $33. Crazy price

While I can't help with supply of grape seeds, I'm curious why you want to grow from seeds?
The genetics of the variety isn't completely carried over by way of seed. Like cactus, propagation should be done vegetatively if you want the known characteristics, particularly for wine making

Variegated? This has been yellow from the get go. Never seen one like it in the hundreds/thousands I've grown, all in the same potting mix

Had a quick look in the flow super. 3 middle frames are pretty much the same as far as how much has been capped off already

Bloke at work and I put on a brew this morning, after months of talking about it and being unable to do it due to other commitments
We used 5kg of my honey, 2.5kg of cherries, 2kg of sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Finishing off some of his chocolate coffee vanilla stout while we got the brew on. Damn tasty!

some of the photos make me feel quite strange to look at, alien world!
The mob on the lawn were a swarm from hives on the other side of the fence. Often they land on lawns it appears. Odd place though

Bees are filling the flow frames nicely. I ended up not waxing the flow frames and the bees took to them very quickly
I've noticed a lot of Flow owners posting in various groups about their bees not moving up into the super. The issue is their colony wasn't ready for it (re not big enough)

It's around. More than you can poke a stick at if you know the right people

Added some new clones
Waiting for @Torsten to fix the html code input problem so I can upload the table of clone info. Would be cool if we could devote a subforum to clones, listing each with info and photos? I know there are some clones on trichocereus.net named clone database but it's far from complete

Civil site I've been on recently has a small pocket of Quandong trees of varying sizes. Harvested a few fruits to make jam and germinate
Had a few germinate recently after quite some time (3+ months) and can't wait to plant them out in the garden

On 05/10/2019 at 4:35 AM, Enjaytee said:I’ll never forget the first time I saw a flow hive. At a bbq... the hosts said “you’ve just got to see our flow hive”. Anyway we all gathered around the hive excitedly, ready to marvel at its ingenuity and as they’ve turned the tap, what came out was this beautiful viscous golden liquid filled with fucking maggots! I could have almost heaved watching them finger the maggot laced honey and trying to tell me it was still fine to eat. Well maybe it was, but I was trying not to retch at the thought of it.
I guess it was hive beetle larvae which can happen to any hive right? But I’m sure you keep a nice clean apiary.
We don't have SHB in the Perth area (yet), only up in the Kimberley region of WA. Interesting that the maggots, even given their small size, made it through the frames when opened
I can't wait for my first flow harvest. Switching another of my langstroth hives over to a flow super this week hopefully once the 8 frames in the super are capped. Keeping 2 as langstroth for honeycomb production also

Can't help you source this but are you aware the climate needed to grow these is a cool climate? Think there is only one commercial grower in Australia, based in Tasmania
Be interesting to see if it can be grown on the very bottom end of mainland Australia at all. Good luck
