The aim of this study was to assess the use of Ngarkat Conservation Park (a major South Australian reserve) by commercially-managed honeybees, establishing the magnitude of any impact on native flora and fauna and then, if there was an impact, determining if that impact was permanent or reversible and/or if there were ways of minimising any impact that would then allow commercial beekeepers to still have access without damaging the natural environment in a permanent sense.
