Wow, what a start to the year. The first meeting was a bonzer with almost 100 people attending.
A big thank you to Stuart Anderson for taking out some of his valuable time donating and presenting our club with its very own flow hive. NRABA members were delighted to meet him and have their questions answered.
Paperbark will be starting one of its bursts of flowering soon, with reasonable pollen and normally some honey. The only problem is that hereabouts it also tends to be a rain time. Hence, the indigenous name of Bellbowrie, rain tree.
