The club will soon be taking on a hive monitoring role for the Department of Primary Industries (DPI), which will be establishing 2 sentinel hives at the Port of Eden.

This is part of the National Sentinel Hive Program which was established in 2000 to improve post-border monitoring around Australia for exotic pests of honey bees, including Varroa mites, Tropilaelaps mites and Tracheal mite.

What a dry month it has been. That means that you need to make sure that your bees have access to water. Many of us never see the bees drinking but they do. If their usual water has dried up, the water you provide will be used even if you don’t see them use it.
