Comment by Jean-Pierre:
Preliminary discussions with
Pippa. Possibility to
collaborate and install
orchard associated with
bee yard on roof of 757
Swanston street (stop 1
building corner of Swanston
and Grattan St). Next step is
to get structural assessment
to see if roof can support
weight. In principle
agreement of Harry Troedel
provided weight is not an
issue. Roof seems very solid,
so I do not think this is going
to be an issue.
Bees@unimelb is still
evolving and we are looking
at a suitable structure
(possibly becoming an entity
within the sustainability
group).
New developments:
Email address beekeepers@unimelb.edu.au is
set-up and functional
Web site to be developed >

Interview of JPS has
occurred and article is
getting written to promote
initiative.
Remote plans for a
large sign on faade
of building 757 Bees
on roof
- Aim is to have small set of
dedicated volunteers to run
beehives, as well as events
that more people could come
to
- Could have workshop on
bee keeping
- MUC Garden to potentially
assist with landscaping
garden around beehives
suggestion of orchard as
fairly low maintenance
- 3000 Acres style garden?
Uses wicking bed containers
approx. half a ton per box
- Would need to apply for a
grant up to $200 per box
- Potential for unusual fruit
trees e.g. bananas,
avocadoes
- Could start with wildflowers
or similar while fruit trees get
established

Food Co-op
Collaboration (use
veggies off garden
and hold cooking
sessions - maybe
have it themed by
culture or country)
Devana
Plant native
Australian
plants/herbs (such
as lemon myrtle).
Maybe have a
separate
plot/section? Id like
to learn more about
native plants in
general. Unless this
is already present - I
have absent for an
year.
Devana
- We do already have a
native edibles garden bed at
the front of the garden
Installation of arch
