What is the Australian Queen Bee Breeders' Association?The Australian Bee Breeders' Association comprises individuals from all sectors of the industry, from those who enjoy the presence of bees in their garden to expert queen breeders and honey bee researchers. The AQBBA was first formed in the mid 1980s to raise the standards of queen bee breeding in Australia. The AQBBA is a member body of the Australian Honey Bee Industry Council (AHBIC), the national peak industry body that represents all aspects of the apiary industry. In 2017 a grass roots movement from industry re-formed the AQBBA to be a voice specifically focused on issues related to queen bee breeding and queen rearing. |
