Savethebeesaustralia is working to help raise funds for beekeepers on the east coast of Australia who are suffering as a consequence of the fires.

So many beekeepers are affected it is hard to know where to begin. A start can be providing funds to assist those who have lost hives and apiary sites.

Many of these beekeepers are without phone reception or internet and some are still at this very moment attempting to protect their homes and apiaries.

Life must be chaotic for these bee keepers who are fire victims. Many are the type of Australians who are too humble to ask for help. Some were already suffering from the drought and low honey prices due to imports.

The scale of the fires is overwhelming:

Finding your hives burnt is devastating:

Some of the areas that have been burnt such as Elands NSW are in rainforest areas that have never burnt before.

So much foraging area has been lost and may not produce nectar for three to five years .

As we know we need bees to pollinate the food we eat.

For this area to recover we need a bee population.

Local Beekeepers Ana and Chelsea Hands will form a committee with victims to manage the funds.

If you are a beekeeper that needs assistance please email stickytipshoney@gmail.com

We will be collecting details and number of hives lost from the affected beekeepers and strategising on how to best support beekeepers suffering.

Support your local beekeeper and purchase directly from them whenever possible.
