19.01.2022 Our Victorian SQRT (State Quarantine Response Team) headed by Joe & our Vic Apiary Officers did an amazing job on the front line. I was so honoured to be part of this first SQRT response team out around the Port of Melbourne undertaking varroa survelliance with an amazing team of beekeepers. Preparedness was definiltey the key in a successful operation. Well done!!!

14.01.2022 Im getting a lot of calls from people thinking their hives are QUEENLESS after a swarm has been cast from their hive. This Queen dial for breeding queens is a fantastic tool for every beekeeper to determine when they can start seeing eggs and most importantly if they don’t by a certain date then their hive, most probably, is queenless. If you introduce a new queen into a queen right hive they will ball & kill her. So check first to ensure your hive is queenless. Available... to purchase from our store . The demonstrated dial is the new & updated style. Wholesale enquiring welcome for bulk quantities. Contact us [email protected] as we are the aussie distributor. https://www.becsbeehive.com.au//pro/queen-development-dial

02.01.2022 Update from AHBIC (Australian Honey Bee Industry Council. APIS FLOREA IN BRISBANE On Sunday 1 November, 2020 a container was unloaded from an international vessel at Brisbane port and there was an Apis florea (red dwarf honey bee or dwarf honey bee) nest on the container. ... At this time the bees have been killed, a queen has been found. Further examination of these bees has taken place and no external mites were detected following an ethanol wash of the bees. Examination for tracheal mites is not planned. With the capture of the queen, there is negligible risk that any absconding bees could establish a new colony. Sweep netting is being carried out in the area but it is not expected that any more bees will be found. Trevor Weatherhead, AHBIC Chair and Robert Dewar, QBA President, have been down to the port and been briefed on what occurred. As more information comes to hand it will be passed on.
