Venue: Lower Theatre (Room B01), Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Science
Presenters: Mr Robert Owen
Keeping bees has become very popular and the number of beekeepers in Australia has doubled in the last seven years. This talk will explain what is involved in keeping bees both in urban areas as well as in country Victoria as well as the time commitment and costs involved. Also discussed will be local council regulations for beekeepers. There has been a lot of information in the media about the plight of the honey bee globally; this talk will include how this relates to keeping bees in Victoria and how this may affect Australia in the future.
This event is hosted by the Sustainability Team's Bee Club.
Robert Owen is the author of the book The Australian Beekeeping Handbook, published in 2015. He also owns Bob’s Beekeeping Supplies in Eltham and has kept bees for 15 years.
