Commercial pollination is a major and growing sector of the beekeeping industry. Bees help boost productivity of all crops in the horticulture industry. Access to forest areas is of vital importance to build the strength of hives for pollination. This is why the QBA is committed to maintaining access to native forests for the benefit of beekeepers, horticulture and the wider community.
