Native Stingless Bees

Hungry Gecko Gardens supply native stingless bees in high quality hive boxes and a range of accessories and related services including hive splits.

At Hungry Gecko Gardens, hives are standard Honey OATH dimensions and constructed from Hoop Pine (minimum 25mm thick). All hives are protected with 3 coats of exterior paint in an off-white colour and feature a hardwood landing pad and metal feet. Inside, a clear brood excluder between the main hive cavity and the honey super allows for either observation of the bees (with the gap at the back taped up) or honey collection.

Hives come stocked with either Tetragonula carbonaria or Tetragonula hockingsi. It is not possible to select which species you receive.

Currently hives are only available within the Greater Brisbane Region.

Hungry Gecko Gardens is committed to preserving Australia’s native stingless bee population. If you discover a stingless bee hive in a location which places the hive at risk, please get in touch through the contact form above so that the hive can be relocated to a safe place. Generally, the hive can be rescued the same day or advice can be provided to ensure their safety until they can be collected.
