History
The Colony Bees Association established on the 1st of November 2021 as a registered Australian charity and an incorporated Association of NSW.
Our service began in the Northern Rivers community and we have since expanded our service through Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania.
We now maintain regular involvement within a global community including the International Federation of Beekeepers Associations, the International Federation of Apitherapy and the broader community of Bee Guardians.
State of the Bee Report
The State of the Bee Report for Season 4 defines a path for the recognition, protection, and cultivation of wild Honeybees and their habitat.
With research from leading apiculture experts, including Seeley, the Colony Bees Association’s founding report aligns with international best practices to deliver Australia’s first dedicated resource for wild bee conservation. The report advances three key recommendations:
- Rewilding Honeybee Conservation
- Medicinal Apiculture
- Indigenous Wisdom and Creativity
