 <title>Gretchen Wheen, Founder of Wheen Foundation, Passes Away - Friday 6th January</title>
 <link>http://www.theabk.com.au/news/gretchen-wheen-founder-wheen-foundation-passes-away-friday-6th-january</link>

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: x-small&quot;&gt;It is with great sadness that beekeepers have learned of the passing of Gretchen Wheen on Thursday 5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; January. Gretchen was known throughout the Australian beekeeping world as a queen breeder of exceptional ability, and recently bequeathed her estate to the Australian Beekeeping Industry by means of the Wheen Foundation. Despite failing health, the Foundation and her active involvement in its work gave Gretchen a new lease of life over the past two years. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theabk.com.au/news/gretchen-wheen-founder-wheen-foundation-passes-away-friday-6th-january&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: x-small&quot;&gt;150 Hives were stolen from a DSE beesite, some 40km north of Bendigo, between 12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; December and 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; December. The hives belonged to Norm Collins of Bendigo, were branded C126, and were all brand new equipment, (boxes/lids and bases), as were the pallets under the hives. The beesite was in Kamarooka State Park, and the hives were a mixture of doubles and singles.&lt;/span&gt;
