Yarrpanj (Honeybees)

The artist has depicted the native honeybees and the honey they produce.

Wild honey, called ‘woma’ in Burarra language, is produced by a number of species of native sting less honeybees of the [Genus Trigona]. Some make their hives in trees, some in the ground, especially in the side of creek banks, while others make their hives inside rock crevices.
