AHBIC in partnership with Sugar Australia are launching the Sugar 4 bees program to assist beekeepers in the purple zones.

The first collection of Sugar 4 Bees is taking place this week for those who registered.

Bianca Giggins is coordinating so if you are interested in registering for the June collection, please complete the form below.

The sugar dust will be in 1 tonne bulka bags. If beekeepers cannot safely accept 1 tonne bags, arrangements will need to be made for smaller sized collection.

Bee Feeding in the PURPLE (Surveillance) Emergency Zones must comply with the current Emergency Order; be by a device that is installed or attached to a hive, only accessible from inside the hive and must be a new feeder or not had contact with another hive in the past 10 days. No open feeding.

The dust is available to assist beekeepers maintain hive health whilst impacted by the current Varroa incursion. The sugar dust attracts moisture and will go solid if not used quickly.
