Funded by the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries and AgriFutures, Professional Beekeepers was established to meet the extension needs of rural and regional Australia.

Our community of practice is made up of beekeepers, scientists, and educators with expertise in the areas of honey bee nutrition, queen breeding, pests and diseases, vocational education, pollination and managing beekeeping businesses around Australia.

All of our articles are peer-reviewed by industry experts and contain information that’s relevant to the Australian beekeeping industry.

The Professional Beekeepers education website and social media accounts are run by a team of volunteers.
