June 26th, 2018: Sugarbag Bees
In Australia one of natures few creations that won’t kill you is the Sugarbag Bees, Tetragonula carbonaria.
They are tiny, much smaller than the European honeybees we’re familiar with, and over time they have lost their stingers. The other difference is the Sugarbag Bees build spiral combs. Quote:

Um, could just be chaos theory. Once upon a time the original bee happened to do it this way and it worked. Either that or it is due to being down under and they like to have a porch in front of their brood chamber.

I wonder if the spiral goes the wrong way like the toilet water down under does.

Nope no coriolis effect, they build them both ways.

Pretty cool.
Bad news of the day varroa mites were found at an Aussie port.
