Keep The Bees Buzzing Project - BICWA
The Bee Industry Council of WA (BICWA) is proud to bring you essential information regarding the safeguarding and biosecurity of the bee industry here in WA, with practical advice, tips, and latest industry updates and recommendations.
The bee industry contributes massively to the economy in a number of ways, and many associated industries rely on bees directly or indirectly. With increased biosecurity risks, especially those that have been detected in other states already, BICWA is encouraging everyone to understand the vital role that bees play, and that you play in keeping them safe.
We hope these short, digestible interviews and presentations will empower you to share the information widely, so that we can all continue to enjoy the many and varied benefits that bees provide.
