Once upon a time, this land was home to one of the world's largest populations of wild honeybees. Living freely amongst the gum trees. Part of country and part of culture.

Today, Australia is an important nation for honeybee conservation. The warm climate, abundance of native forage, nesting sites, clean air and crystal clear water provides a perfect habitat for the honeybee. This landscape offers an excellent habitat for the advancement of genetic strength.

The great southern lands are home to several honeybee species and this diversity of honeybee genetics delivers the essential pollination service for native plants and for agriculture.

Internationally, research continues to advocate for the protection of wild populations for the advancement of the race.
