Beekeeper Resilience
Your health and wellbeing is just as important as the health of your hives
Your wellbeing
Varroa Mite was first detected in NSW in June 2022, bringing a new challenge to beekeeping in Australia.
With this new challenge and the changes to beekeeping, an overload of information and resources can also create a sense of overwhelm.
We are here to assist.
Whether that be a confidential chat, connection to health or other related services, our job is to help ensure you have access to the best support possible.
We’re here to support you throughout your Varroa learning journey.

Beyond Blue, 1300 22 46 36
Lifeline, 13 11 14
