The 2020 almond pollination season is not far away. For those beekeepers planning on taking hives this year, it is vital that you adequately prepare your hives so that they are healthy and strong for their work in the orchards.
Australian Honey Bee Industry Biosecurity Code of Practice (‘the Code’)
Beekeeper site at an almond orchard.
Almond pollination season provides a great financial opportunity for beekeepers, but large numbers of hives moving into one area can create an increased biosecurity risk.
The Code has been designed to provide a clear framework for all beekeepers to engage in biosecurity best-practice to help mitigate the risk. If everyone complies with the Code, the risk of disease spread is reduced and the whole beekeeping industry benefits.
