Australian native bees, apart from not having stingers, are tiny... about the same size as a baby fly. Most importantly, their hive structure is incompatible with normal modern beekeeping hives, hence they honey is taken directly from hives on trees, in the bush. I recall that attempts are being made to have them work in normal boxes, but understand it's tricky. Also, Jelly Bush is the common name for the NZ equivalent Manuka bush, both are of the tea tree family.
