It’s great to finally see legislation in place that will allow beekeeping to continue in our national parks for another 20 years.
The Nature Conservation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill was introduced to Queensland Parliament last week, bringing with it a welcome relief for our local bee keepers.
Our constant calls and lobbying produced results and I couldn’t be more proud of the community who helped to make this legislation a reality.
For years I have been fighting for this extension; ensuring the Queensland Beekeepers Association attended our Bundaberg promotion nights at Parliament House, giving them advocacy and access with Ministers, and constantly writing to the agriculture minister on their behalf to plead their case.
It’s a brilliant outcome that already has our local beekeepers buzzing with excitement.
To show your support, remember to buy locally sourced honey and spread the word about our liquid gold.”
