The design of this book is to assist in the identification of members of the Leptospermum genus.
Leptospermum species are a diverse genus that grows throughout Australia. Some Leptospermum species are easy to distinguish; other species can be more difficult. Species such as L. polygalifolium occupy diverse ecosystems, with natural variation occurring throughout their range.
Supplementary feeding research assesses costs, benefits and profitability for beekeepers targeting pollination and honey production.
Deformed wing virus (DWV) can infect honey bee queens through imported drone semen, but this study found no transmission to offspring. The research supports continued...
This research examined whether imported drone semen can transmit deformed wing virus (DWV) to honey bee queens. The findings support continued virus testing and show...
Explore honey bee nutrition research that shows why artificial pollen diets cannot replace natural pollen and how to improve colony health.
Discover the Honey Bee RD&E Plan 2026–31, outlining priorities to boost bee health, productivity and resilience.
The Australian Honey Bee & Pollination RD&E Plan 2026–2031 guides research, development and extension investment to strengthen Australia’s honey bee and pollination industries.
