Ally Driessen is one of the Bee Biosecurity Officers of the National Bee Biosecurity Program. In 2018 when the Varroa scare in Victoria occurred, Ally was inspired to make the change to a ‘bee-change’, in order to become part of the driving force helping to reduce the risks of exotic and established honey bee pests.
Ally will be discussing the simple things every person can do to help keep the honey bees in Australia healthy. The honey bee industry, has developed the Australian Honey Bee Industry Biosecurity Code of Practice. The Code includes basic biosecurity practices that should be used by all beekeepers in Australia. These actions help to minimise the impact of pests and diseases on their own hives and those of other beekeepers. So, come along and hear Ally discuss this and more, including her dealings with the Almond pollination preparation.
