Beekeepers' Convoy of WA Hives to Help South Australia's Almond Growers

Western Australia's beekeeping industry has responded to an urgent call for help from South Australian almond growers. The almond industry is facing critically low pollination levels this season. About 600 purchased beehives will be trucked across the border later this week to assist almond growers facing drought and a critical shortage of bees. The Bee Industry Council of Western Australia decided to set up the convoy after being approached for help to keep almond growers across the border in production.
