Research Into Western Australian Honeys, Robert J G Manning
Research Into Western Australian Honeys, Robert J G Manning
All other publications
On the 26 February 2002, the then Department of Agriculture released a media statement about the results of research conducted by Rob Manning and Nola Mercer about WA honeys’ antimicrobial activity using an assay developed in New Zealand. The research showed that Western Australian honey had some of the highest activity levels in the world due to a naturally occurring enzyme in the honey. Upon dilution of honey, the enzyme glucose oxidase produces low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide which is the source of its antimicrobial activity. It is different to Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) honey from New Zealand which is termed …

Honeybee Pollination, Technical Data For Potential Honey-Bee Pollinated Crops And Orchards In Western Australia, Robert J. G. Manning Dr
Bulletins 4000 -
The future of pollination of crops by beekeepers in Western Australia is encouraging. The number of crops that can be pollinated are on the increase and in the fruit sector, new varieties are being planted and established crops are being expanded.The use of honeybees in pollination will become very important as cropping areas enlarge and as export markets expand, with premium prices for quality.
This bulletin covers general guidance on developing a bee pollination services with specific advice for managing pollination services for vegetable, broadacre grain, fruit, nuts crops.

Pollination of horticultural and agricultural crops is being recognised throughout Australia by quality growers who wish to improve crop quality and quantity, to increase their returns from produce sold on local and export markets. Some growers are able to target specific high value markets using planned pollination to maximise their income.

Brood Diseases Of Bee, G. L. Griffiths, Lee Allan
Bulletins 4000 -
American foul brood (AFB) also know as American brood disease (ABD) is an infectious disease of honey bees cause by bacteria, Bacillus larvae. This bacteria forms spores which will survive many years in the environment and the bee larvae become infected by swallowing the spores with teir food. The spores then develop and multiply within the larvae.

Honey Plants In Western Australia, F. G. Smith
Honey Plants In Western Australia, F. G. Smith
Bulletins - 3000 - 3999
Successful honey production depends, among other things on a good knowledge of the plants which produce nectar.
Every apiarist needs to know which plants are of importance to honey-bees, where those plants occur, and when they flower. He also needs to know which plants produce nectar which will result in the production of good quality honey, and which produce unpalatable or unmarketable honey. To maintain the strength of his bee colonies he also needs to know which plants produce nutritious pollen.
The object of this bulletin is to provide the basic information on these subjects in the main beekeeping areas …

Evicting Bees From Houses, A C. Kessell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EACH year the Apicultural Branch receives several inquiries from harassed householders about how to get rid of bee colonies which have nested in houses.
Cavity walls often provide cosy quarters for swarms seeking: a home, while others establish themselves in chimneys, ventilators and under floors.

A GOOD knowledge of the nectar producing plants of the State is essential for success in commercial beekeeping.
The beekeeper who has a good knowledge of which plants produce good flows, when the flows might be expected, and where good stands of those plants may be found is the one who has the best chance of success.

THE eye of the master fattens the cattle. One of the oldest farming proverbs this is as true of bee-keeping as any other branch of farming.
Careful husbandry is the basis of all successful bee-keeping; anything else is secondary.
