ABARES Report and Biosecurity Roundtable

I thought that beekeepers would be interested to know that the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences have just released the survey of the beekeeping industry in Australia.

I have sent out this notice as I thought it best not to wait to report it in the AHBIC newsletter which comes out at the end of the month. It can be viewed at: agriculture.gov.au

As I was sending this out I thought it also opportune to report that AHBIC Chairperson Lindsay Bourke and myself attended a Biosecurity Roundtable with members of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Agriculture and Water Resources.

The ABC reported on this and it can be found at: www.abc.net.au

Lindsay and I are currently looking at the Hansard proofs and the full transcript of the Roundtable should be on the Parliamentary website soon.
