In this months issue:

For the February edition of The Australasian Beekeeper we have updates to the Honey industry in regard to the recent bushfires and drought, as well as the report of more Asian Honeybees suspected in Townsville. Liz Frost covers an article on mental health in these current times and Des Cannon looks at the Carbon footprint of the beekeeping industry. This month, Ross Conrad delivers 'In the Apiary' on the topic of feeding time. 

Looking into nutrition, we have an in-depth article from Dale Hill PHD, which looks at the pieces of the puzzle in regard to feeding bees. We also have another enlightening article about pollen, and Clarence Collison gives us plenty to thinking about with his article on larval pheromones. In recent research we all looking at the flight guidance mechanisms of honeys bees and the interstate highways that bees use.
