We thrive on the LIGHT BULB MOMENT when a little bit of bee biology opens worlds of beekeeping understanding.
Workshops
Advanced Topics in Bee Breeding
What an incredible time in Australian beekeeping! This new world order Varroa has created will push us to our limits and require our relationship with our honey bees and businesses to be stronger than ever before. Are you ready?
Our workshop will help get you there. We will do a deep dive on honey bee biology and genetics and their interactions with the environment.
We will specifically focus on bee breeding through systematic selection and the drone's contribution to genetic improvement.
