This report provides comparable information on the key floral resources used by the beekeeping
industry in South Australia. Like other states this report is based on information provided by
contributing beekeepers, and provides spatial information on where key resources are used by
beekeepers in South Australia as well as some information on patterns of flowering and historical
changes in resource use by beekeepers in South Australia.
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.

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.
Deformed wing virus transmission via imported honey assessed in Australia. Explore findings on bee infection risk and biosecurity measures. Read the full report.
This project assessed whether imported honey could introduce deformed wing virus (DWV) into Australia. DWV appeared in some raw honey but at low levels, while...
Pollen shortages can weaken honey bee colonies, so beekeepers feed artificial protein supplements. This project tested diets in cages and field hives, revealing amino acid...
