25.01.2022 Any ideas? Give it your best shot,,,,,

25.01.2022 Did you know? Over 65% of Australian Agriculture and Horticulture is dependent on pollination by managed honey bee colonies. In order to maintain strong and h...ealthy honey bees for pollination, we require continuation of access to healthy native forest habitats. Our immediate future is under threat due to exclusion clauses in State Legislation prohibiting beekeepers from accessing National Park apiary sites, previously tenured under State Forestry land prior to their conversion into protected area estate. The Queensland beekeeping industry has been working for 20 years to resolve this exclusion clause and to date the industry has no surety on the continuation of access to Queensland National Park Apiary sites post 31 December 2024. Investment in our industry has now stalled until this matter can be resolved. This issue of access will ultimately jeopardise the production capacity of the 65% of Australian crops, dependent on strong, healthy honey bees for pollination and the employment opportunities and future jobs within the Ag sector. It must be stated that Beekeepers are the ultimate conservationists and the unrecognised contributors to producing the food on our plates. It has always been and remains in our best interests to protect, preserve and promote the health of habitats in our native forests for the future of our industry and the future for all Australians. In the coming weeks, leading up to the State Election, we’re calling on all Queenslanders to question their local state election candidates on what their plans are to resolve the access exclusion clauses for the beekeeping industry. Too many times our industry has been issued promises and verbal assurances our team will get the job done in an attempt or gesture to resolve this matter for the beekeeping industry, only for any progress on the issue to be held up by other more important priorities in Queensland. We’re actively seeking commitments from the major political parties in Queensland on the matter, sadly we are yet to receive any written commitments on the matter. What’s important to remember, is at the forefront of this matter, is the livelihood of generations of beekeeping families. Salt of the earth people, who go about the rigours of their daily work routines providing care for their much loved colonies and are somewhat blessed to work in the beauty of our stunning natural environment. They’re a quiet bunch of people, but are immensely proud of their continued contributions to producing world class honey and playing their part in helping our farming friends feed Australia’s growing population. We’ve included a link from our friends at Agrifutures below, it covers the crucial role our Australian honey bee industry plays in the fabric of Australian agriculture. Be certain to have a quick read make a point of asking your local candidates about their plans to resolve this persistent issue that continues to hang a dark and uncertain cloud over the future of our beekeeping families and the industry they proudly represent. Our honey bees and their beekeepers need your support, now more than ever. Please share this post to send a message to Queensland’s election candidates. Enough is enough. It’s time they take action to secure everyone’s right to world class honey and healthy Australian and Queensland grown produce.

04.01.2022 This week is Australian Pollinator Week which acknowledges our important pollinators including bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, beetles and birds. Unl...ike people or animals, plants can’t go find their own mates to reproduce, so it’s really important that our pollinators stay healthy and free from pests. No pollination = no plants = no food! As one of Australia’s most prolific pollinators, we’re working hard to protect Australia’s European honey bee population, including through the National Varroa Mite Eradication Program, which is responding to detections of varroa mite in Townsville in 2019 and 2020 following successful eradication of an earlier detection in 2016. More information on the NVMEP can be found at https://bit.ly/daf_varroa. For more information on Australian Pollinator Week, head to australianpollinatorweek.org.au/.
