10.01.2022 Friends, we know that this fire season has been devastating and we are all grieving what has been lost. Australias professional beekeepers are our forgotten farmers. These important primary producers are often overlooked when it comes to the effects of drought, bushfire and other natural disasters. Yet professional beekeepers are the cornerstone of our agricultural industry. They play a vital role in helping to pollinate important food crops for both humans and livestock, in... addition to producing delicious Aussie honey from our rugged bushland. Crops like almonds, avocados, blueberries, cucumbers, mangoes, apples and pumpkin rely heavily on pollination by bees. Our hardworking Aussie beekeepers are enduring one of the toughest seasons on record thanks to relentless drought and damaging bushfires, with conditions feared to only become worse in coming months. A scarcity of water and flowering trees mean honey production has fallen sharply, bee populations have suffered, and many honey bees are currently neither producing honey nor pollinating crops. This impact will be felt for many years to come due to a loss of bushland and forests that are relied on to support healthy bee colonies. We need to support our littlest livestock, honey bees, and the beekeepers who care for them. Please help safeguard one of the most important industries in Australian agriculture Australian apiculture. If you would like to know how you can specifically help, please take a look at HiveAid. https://www.ruralaid.org.au/donate/?supporter_id=14254
