October Bee Group meeting - 2021

Ally Driessen is a Bee Biosecurity Officer at Agriculture Victoria. She was an amateur beekeeper and permaculture enthusiast during the Varroa scare in Victoria mid-2018. This drove her to swap a corporate career for a ‘bee-change’ and become part of the driving force in reducing the risks of exotic and established honey bee pests.

At our October meeting she will be speaking about:

• BeeMAX – Agriculture Victoria’s bees online digital platform;

• Priorities for Apiary Inspectors at the moment;

• The Apiary Code of Practice; and

• The Australian Honey Bee Industry - Biosecurity Code of Practice and the Victorian Legislation Division 5—Bees. 

Join us online to keep up to date with local conditions that effect your hive, connect with other beekeepers, share resources, improve your apiary skills and learn more about honeybee ecology.

Grab yourself a ticket and the day before the meeting, we'll send you a link via email. On Sunday its as simple as clicking the link to join using your computer, ipad or phone. With your link we'll also send you some further details on "how to" Zoom.
