I want to set up some beehives at this property, but there's not a lot of biodiversity when it comes to flowers. Whilst there'd have to be well over a thousand trees constantly littered in the area, there only appears to be three species of trees, mallee by the looks of it. There's also a few species of shrub flowers but not many. The area is pretty dry.
I want to plant flowers so that beehives can thrive in this area throughout the year, not just when the gumtrees happen to flower. I'm a bit lost as to how to approach selecting what to plant for this apiary.
Are there any decent sources that'll help me to identify the gumtrees that are already there? What about the shrub and ground flowers? Would it be a good, or bad idea to plant more gumtrees up there, when there's many of them to begin with, and they tend to flower when it rains, and the area is quite dry with low rain fall?
