A bee hard at work here pollinating!
But what is the flower that the bee is working on?
Well, it is the second carry of fruit on this tree for the year and I have placed a comprehensive post about the tree before.
For those of you that have read the other post, see if you can remember it.
Let's have a look!
Here's two fruit beetles at work on a flower of the same tree!
Know what the tree is yet?
Well, it's not a flower at all, It's a cluster of fruit buds.
And here you can see the fruits growing!
This is a picture of the tree!
Here's some more fruit clusters!
They will transform into fruits.
And here I have a fruit in my hand.
This is a Macadamia Nut!
Here's some Macadamia nuts from the first harvest!
The first day of June is normally the official start of winter here in South Africa.
A strange reason for the Macadamia tree to carry it's second load so late in the year. Maybe as a result of the crazy weather patterns lately.
Soon I will have to start nut collecting again in a match against the squirrels and I have noticed that they are already watching the progress of the tree. The fun will start when the first nuts start to drop down from the tree.
Our rental period ends here at the end of June, but we have been given one month extra and so I am going to enjoy my skirmishes with the squirrels again for the nuts. As you know, we ensure that the squirrels get more than enough of the nuts.
Hope you have enjoyed the pictures.
