The 2019/20 bushfires destroyed an estimated 15.6 million hectares of native Australian forests, reducing critical nectar and pollen sources for honey bee colonies. To support the industry’s recovery, AgriFutures Australia Honey Bee and Pollination Program has launched the Bee Tech Challenge which aims to identify established and emerging market-ready technology that provides solutions to key issues facing the industry including biosecurity, hive health, hive safety, and bushfire protection and preparedness.
Made possible through an Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment grant, the challenge aims to connect beekeepers with #startups, #scaleups and #innovators to support a brighter future for our bees.
Do you have a piece of #tech that fits the bill?
