User's notes

This hollow, now colonised (to my horror) but European honey bees, has previously been used by cockatoos, and of interest to galahs and gang gangs as breeding hollows - but now off the table (I suppressed the location because it was a breeding hollow?).

Yes, exactly. So disappointing to see. I emailed ACT Biosecurity, but have not heard anything.
