An apiary workship in Stanthorpe last week attracted a full house reflecting an upsurge in interest in one of the key components of the human food chain. “Beekeepers are the unsung heroes of agriculture and horticulture,” the group was told by the main speaker at the event, Kevin Tracy, a queen breeder and producer with Bee Zone Apiaries and a trainer and educator for Foundation Training Australia. See more on the fascinating and essential world of bees on page 4 and 5, inside.
