We found three native bees colonies along the Styx River

This was the largest of the three. The wax combs covered the underside of the overhang of a large rock – it’s about 3 metres across. The colony is a collection of discrete wax combs each affixed to the rock and hanging free in space.

This photograph illustrates the detail of a couple of combs and was taken side-on looking across the surface of the rock.
