All Bees love Eucalyptus flowers, called the blue gum tree flowers. When they start flowering many bees go forage and produce tasty honey.

Eucalyptus trees are very beneficial to honey bees and other bee species. As there are many different species of blue gum trees, which enables the different trees to flower all year around. A lot of times in the year these trees are crucial for the bees to obtain nectar from to survive.

Many times we have placed catching boxes in the trees and caught swarms of honey bees in them. That is how many are attracted to the flowers on the eucalyptus trees.

Leaves of the eucalyptus tree

Eucalyptus oil is made from the leaves of the tree. Therefore the bees do not eat the eucalyptus oil directly.

Using the leaves for health.

Many uses for eucalyptus leaves can be so beneficial to humans. Such as hanging some leaves in the shower and the steam can produce some eucalyptus oils to clear your sinus and chest.

Other wise you could prepare an infusion by boiling 1 or 2 teaspoons of some chopped up leaves in a cup of water then steep for 10 minutes. You can drink up to two cups a day.
