Sustainable Living Tasmania invites you to ‘The Science of the Hive’ to get a glimpse into the fascinating science of the honey bee.
In this special presentation supported by Inspiring Australia, CSIRO will talk about their latest research and, for the first time in Tasmania you’ll also see the new Flow HiveTM from inventor Cedar Anderson.
“At this special Festival presentation you’ll learn fabulous and awe inspiring facts about the not so humble honey bee and why Albert Einstein said that if we lose our bees humankind would only have 4 years left to live.” said Lissa Villeneuve, Festival Director.
Bees play a significant role in food security, with up to two thirds of Australia’s agriculture output dependent on honey bees for both yield and quality of crops.
“In Tasmania, we’re in a unique situation where bee populations and habitats are wonderfully healthy, but the trick is to keep them that way,” said Ms Villeneuve. “So join us and learn how you can help secure thriving habitats for bees whether you’re a beekeeper, gardener or anyone else!” she concluded.
There will also be free honey tastings!
The Science of the Hive presentation is on 1st Nov 12.00pm as part of the Sustainable Living Festival
