Fiji buzzing as Pacific Beekeeping Congress takes flight

Beekeepers from across the Pacific are meeting in Fiji for the inaugural Pacific Islands Beekeeping Congress, with Southern Cross University taking a lead role. The congress brings more than 200 beekeepers from 10 different Pacific Island countries together to learn, network, and strengthen beekeeping industry skills, knowledge and partnerships in the region. The initiative has stemmed from an ACIAR-funded research project led by Southern Cross University aiming to improve the productivity and profitability of smallholder beekeeping.
