Yapunyah Trees, growing on
the flood plains in the "Channel Country" of Western Queensland. The
area is just south of Quilpie and forms part of the Bulloo River. This
area only averages about 275mm (11 ins) of rain per year. The Yapunyah
tree flowers from early April till late October and is a major producer
of honey through our winter months, with an average production on 150kg
per hive. While nectar production in plentiful, pollen is in short supply
and often of poor quality. Unless pollen
substitutes are fed to the bees the hives can come out of the area
in poor condition.
