BEE BRIEF "Starting A Hive" We get many people contacting us wanting to start a hive. Here are some points for you to consider before you proceed :-
- All persons keeping bees in South Australia must be registered with PIRSA ( see our resources page) or interstate contact your local department of agriculture.
- Bees can be kept in urban areas providing your beekeeping hobby complies with your local council policies and bylaws. Local councils differ in their approach to beekeeping.
- Beekeeping is a "craft "and is more than just putting bees into a box. There are legal responsibilities outlined in the Sth. Aust. livestock act of 1997 and regulations of 1998 to which all individuals keeping bees must comply. Each state has its own regulations to which individual beekeepers must comply.
- Australia has a set of national beekeeping competancies.
We suggest you access these documents to increase your knowledge base prior to commencing beekeeping ( see our resources page - AHBIC - Education- 17 free downloadable pdf files)
- Support and education is important. You may like to consider undertaking a recreational WEA beekeeping course in South Australia or courses/ education sessions run by your local beekeeping associations in each state.
- If you are unsure what is available in your state please contact via email and we can provide you with contacts.
