Commerical Apiary Pest and Disease Managment

[La Trobe University (AUS)]

We want to hear from you !

My name is Luke McKay, a PhD student representing the Agricultural Bio-solutions Lab (BEDDOE LAB) under the guidance of Prof. Travis Beddoe and I'm seeking the expertise and opinions of apiculturists (preferably those involved in commercial pollination services) on international apiary pest and disease management practices. This input will help better align research with industry needs and identify areas where further study would be beneficial.

The Agricultural Bio-solutions Lab is one of Australia’s leading research labs focused on honeybee health, specialising in surveillance, development of future vaccines and novel treatment strategies for high-priority apiculture pathogens.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could please participate, forward on, or ask ask your honeybee community to be kind enough to take a few moments to participate in a brief 3-minute survey. Your feedback will be invaluable in guiding our research and supporting the apiary industry, particularly in relation to our ongoing honeybee and pollination studies. I have attached a small paragraph for potential publication if that would be an option.

International Apiary Pest and Disease Management Strategies

Your input is greatly valued.

Best regards,
Luke McKay PhD Researcher, La Trobe University
