Welcome to the Dunedin Beekeepers’ website

Posted on August 25, 2011 by admin

The Dunedin Beekeeper’s Club is a group of friendly beekeepers’ from the Otago region of New Zealand. We have both amateur and commercial members.

During the season we have a meeting once a month (details will be posted on this site, and newsletters sent out to members).

If you are interested in beekeeping, and are in the region, it would be great to meet you. Contact details for our President, and for myself the web-master are available in the contact section.

We hope to hear from you.

Assistance required with a project studying the impact of Varroa mite on our Bees

Posted on December 28, 2011 by admin

Our club has received the following request, and we wish to forward it to all readers who may be able to assist,…

 

 

 

Please distribute widely.

PLEASE HELP BEES

We are running a project to determine the genetic impact of Varroa mite on
our bees. Varroa mite kills unmanaged bee hives and we want to know the
impact of this on genetic diversity in bees.

Coastal Otago and Southland are the only Varroa-free places in the country
and we would like to sample diversity in feral (wild) bees.

If you see a feral bee hive, one not in the usual boxes, or one in a
tree/cliff etc, please let me know by email (mcms@xtra.co.nz) and we will
come round and sample the bees.

The results of this project will help us understand what we need to have a
sustainable bee population in New Zealand.

cheers

David McMillan
