The Australian Native Bee Association Inc invites beekeepers, farmers,, educators, industry leaders and researchers to share knowledge at the 2nd Australian Native Bee Conference. We will discuss issues required to increase understanding and unlock the potential of our native bees, a valuable but under-utilized natural resource.
The conference and field trip will take place over three days, Thu 5th to Saturday 7th December 2019.
The field trip will take us to a farm on the Sunshine Coast on the afternoon of Thursday 6th December 2019. At the macadamia, avocado and lychee farm you will see hive shelters for communal housing of stingless bee hives. You will observe methods for hive propagation. We will discuss placement and management of hives on farms. The farmer will give his perspective on stingless bees for pollination. Lunch will be provided. Cost is $60. Make your booking as an Extra on the registration form.
Are you interested in a half day bee ID workshop at University of Queensland on Sunday 8th December? It will consist of a lecture on diversity and anatomy, followed by lab based diagnostics with reference collections and keys. Contact: Dr Tobias Smith (tobias.smith@uqconnect.edu.au).
