This information has become difficult to access, thus the amalgamation of the relevant data in Chapter 6 is pleasing. Most of this work was funded by RIRDC or previous funding organisations supported by the beekeeping industry. There is more information on the chemical composition of Australian honey bee-collected pollens than in any other country. To address this short fall in information, RIRDC has funded a publication that will prove beekeeper friendly, drawing together relevant research on the subject of honey bee nutrition. Despite this, the bulk of the information is not readily available to the beekeeping industry. Australian researchers have, for a number of decades, significantly added to our knowledge on the subject. Website: Published in May 2005 Printed on environmentally friendly paper by Union OffsetįOREWORD Honey bee nutrition is very much a developing area of research within the beekeeping industry.
