Size and Scope of the Honey Bee and Pollination Industry - An Updated Snapshot

The Size and Scope of the Australian Honey Bee and Pollination Industry report (Clarke and Le Feuvre, February 2021) provided a detailed statistical analysis of the industry in Australia. However, the Varroa mite incursion has highlighted that the figures reported may underestimate the size of the industry. This project will provide up-to-date information to facilitate decision making by government, researchers, and industry.
