- Nic Douse is the founder of Honeyfingers, which is a Melbourne-based urban beekeeping network, but also a creative project that works with different creatives to explore the intersection between bees and humanity in the fields of music, art, history, design and education.

European honeybees have been part of human culture for millennia, providing us with candle wax, leather and wood polish, honey, mead and pollinating our crops.
All of Honeyfingers work centres around the beauty of bees and bee culture.
Honeyfingers is keen to bring beekeeping back to cities and manages hives in Melbourne’s inner north and east, in community gardens and private gardens and some rooftops.
Karina is learning about beekeeping from Nic. Before opening a hive Karina has learnt to be in a state of calm, as this reduces the risk of being stung. She says she feels a greater sense of awareness since she started working with bees.

1:52 😂😂😂😂😂 this had us all in fits of laughter
Yep 😂😂😂😂
I have so many flowers growing this year, the bees love it and I’m happy to feed them even through winter!
I am also beekeeper and have ten years experience in bees
Are there stingless bees in Melbourne?
No
*an urban
Melbourne Naarm based? Hahaha please...
It's a shame that most bees that are 'kept' are invasive species. Great for pollinating the flowers but not great for our native bees.
Stop trying to rid Australia of anything not from here!
It’d getting tiresome.
@@HGCUPCAKESif we don't respect the natural balance of the ecosystem then it will not be able to support anything, not even invasive species.
@@OceanviewgardenTo say that feral bees have zero impact on native launa is incorrect. They out compete native fauna that feed on the same plants. The only reason the government isn't interested in eradicating european honey bees is because there is an industry built around farming them.
Did an all day course at Kumbartcho Nursery and the Stingless native bee. Awesome course and delivery was by UQ professor on the topic
