Dekka says... Hi, Jack! There are 1500 species of native bees in Australia. Some are social while others are solitary. Some are tiny and some are large. While wasps and bees can both enjoy a good drink of nectar, the main difference between them is that wasps are carnivorous and bees aren't. If this insect is collecting pollen it is a bee, although to me it has wings that look more wasp-like. Alternatively you could try annoying it and if it bites you then it is a wasp. | About the Author Dekka Newcastle 13th October 2009 2:40pm #UserID: 102 Posts: 219 View All Dekka's Edible Fruit Trees |
Wayne says... Thanks Dekka, as Brad says it does sorta look like a bee. I saw a bee the other day, the second one in the nine years that I have been living here. Dekka says - "Alternatively you could try annoying it and if it bites you then it is a wasp." ---- Bees bite, one came in the front air vent on my truck, flew up the leg of my shorts and bit me [you know where] and it hurt to | About the Author Wayne Mackay QLD 13th October 2009 4:52pm #UserID: 338 Posts: 908 View All Wayne's Edible Fruit Trees |
russ says... Hi everyone, My mate's contact at the WA Ag Department thinks it is a Hairy Flower Wasp, but he is waiting to hear back from one of the insect identifiers.

Speedy says... "Petrol (unlit) at night when they are asleep works best, if the have started nesting." Hey, It's waaay more fun if you LIGHT the petrol when you do it! Kinda feels like a waste not to. lol Though my fave is metho in a squirty bottle used with a lighter (or flaming rag on a stick to make it look like you're being at least a bit saftey conscious) gives a clean hot burn and little if any residue Very effective and nothing short of spectacular and the ants do all the cleanup! They like scorched bees and wasps with their alcohol. (...don't go doin this at home kids...) | About the Author N Vic 18th October 2009 11:26pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brad says... I'm not the apple expert, but my pinkabelle is at pink bud, so I'm not surprised that anna is flowering. (OMG something in this thread about apples) PS answering your other thread question - yep I'm moving to half an acre in gooseberry hill. If you know anyone who'd want to buy a 2x1 in como with edibles, send them my way | About the Author Brad2 Como, Perth 21st August 2010 5:29pm #UserID: 2323 Posts: 762 View All Brad2's Edible Fruit Trees |

If u guys are getting flowers down there I should be too yes? (Ps - for what it's worth - I never have seen another one of those guys - and I thought "Hairy Flower Wasp" was such a dull name for it...should be "Crocodile Wasp" hey Wayne..? :) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Brad says... all according to kuffel creek's book: pulling off leaves or not made little difference. new leaves will push through. do you see any buds swelling? I certainly wouldn't stress yet. But a little bit of stress to apples helps them flower too - if you've been too nice to it, that may be a reason for lack of flowers. | About the Author Brad2 Como, Perth 22nd August 2010 12:02am #UserID: 2323 Posts: 762 View All Brad2's Edible Fruit Trees |
Violet_Cactus says... Golden Dorset is among the first to bud every year. Mine flowered on 1st August. Apple bud burst is spread over a long period. For example, Court Pendu Plat will not flower until November. Don't worry Amanda, there are no Pink Ladies or Fujis down here in bud that I know of. You don't have to pull off the leaves. The trees know what they are doing - they'll be ok! | About the Author VioletCactus1 Melbourne 22nd August 2010 1:03am #UserID: 516 Posts: 349 View All VioletCactus1's Edible Fruit Trees |
