22.01.2022 Just a heads up everyone. A fellow beekeeper has been in contact with the agricultural Minister asking if it’s within the current travel lockdown to go and chec...k your beehives & get them ready for winter. His reply was yes indeed you can do this now however stage 4 lockdown is about to be invoked, and after this stage 4 lockdown this won’t be possible. So Stage 4 lockdown is coming very soon everyone.

05.01.2022 Official drought and bushfire relief HiveAid has been set up through RuralAid. Please share to get the word out. https://www.ruralaid.org.au/donate/?supporter..._id=14254 "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".
