I thought this recent article accurately summarized the current challenges being faced also across the east coast.
While the varroa mite situation is devastating and the experience is similar, there is strength and some comfort in our shared struggle as a beekeeping community.

With many managed colonies under threat from the invasive varroa mite, Queensland beekeepers are trying to find ways to protect their industry.

What they tell you: "Bees stay inside during a storm event to maintain the hive's internal climate and protect the brood." 🤓🔬

The truth: ⬇️
Welcome to the underground bee club. When the storm clouds roll in outside, the real party starts inside. We've got cards played at the wax table, a full-blown swing dance marathon in the back, and Barb sleeping off her honey tea in the hammock. 😴
Hey, even the hardest workers in nature need a mental health day! 🐝✨

🐝☀️ If you're interested in Bees or Honey be like Vicki ☀️🐝

A beautiful day in the apiary today with a helper!
Vicki, one of the garden volunteers from Southern Life, spontaneously decided to lend a hand, learn a little about beekeeping, and experience the bees up close for herself.

She even had the pleasure of holding a frame and watching the hive activity in action. What a legend!! 👏🐝

It’s always fantastic seeing people connect excitedly with the bees and gain a new appreciation for these incredible little pollinators.

With winter approaching, Mike and Damien removed a little honey from the filled up hives to create some extra room for the bees to store their upcoming winter nectar flows. 🍯🌼

A huge thank you to Vicki and all the volunteers who help make the Southern Life ( Foodbank NSW & ACT ) community garden and club hive partnership such a special thing for Eurobodalla . 💛🌱 Community groups working together, are stronger together.

The most recent donation of Honey keeps on flowing! 🍯💛
We’ve headed back to the SouthernCare Community Aid Pantry with another 17 jars of our Pure Raw Eurobodalla Honey! 🐝✨

This is all born from a perfect local cycle:
🌱 The Land: SouthernCare hosts our club hives.
🐝 The Work: Our bees pollinate their incredible food gardens.
🍯 The Gift: That liquid gold goes straight back onto the shelves for the Eurobodalla community.

It’s local, it’s sustainable, and it’s a true team effort between our volunteer beekeepers, the SouthernCare volunteers, and of course, the bees themselves.

SouthernCare (southerncare.org.au) supports families right across the Shire, and we are so proud that our hives can play a small part in the amazing work they do. All are welcome to use their service.

Want to bee involved?
Give our page a follow to see what the bees are up to next or to join us at our next club activity! 💛🐝
