Diversity is important to our business in two ways:
First, our genetics is critical to ensuring our stock remains vigorous and healthy. We specialise in Italian and Caucasian bees and we raise and mate these queens in three different locations to ensure a diversity in genetics and the opportunity to harness some of the local adaptations from the wild bees in these locations.
Second, as a business we not only supply queens and nucleus colonies, but we branch out into related areas. For example, the harvest and selling of honey, wax and propolis. We provide instruction and training to beekeepers in southern NSW and we even raise seed for hardy, but attractive herbaceous perennials for our customers to buy and plant in their own “pollinator gardens”.
