We're tackling the tough topics concerning every Queensland-based beekeepers’ at our 'Sustainable Beekeeping Beyond Varroa' 2024 State Conference.
From managing varroa in the tropics to understanding the global honey market and fraud that's influencing Australian honey prices through our session 'beyond our borders'.
We'll also take a closer look into our changing pest and disease landscape as a key priority to delivering the support our beekeepers need as they navigate a transition to managing the mite.
We'll wrap up our conference with a 'Resilient Beekeeping' panel discussion where delegates have the opportunity to learn from our southern colleagues already managing the mite, enhanced by international observations spotlighting the 'good, the bad and the ugly' of varroa mite management.
The QBA official activities will draw to a close with delegates encouraged to attend the ‘Annual QBA Dinner’ where we will celebrate our 120th AGM Anniversary.
