Honey Bee

Pollination Services
As a horticultural area, honey bees are very important in the Mildura region, particularly for the pollination of almond and
melon crops.While the region does produce some honey and bees wax, pollination is an industry in itself.In order to pollinate the region’s vast almond plantations,
between 110,000 hives are brought into the region from many
of the Eastern States in order to meet the huge demand that pollination created.

Bee keepers in the Mildura region also service other regions including South Australia.

Honey Production
Besides honey and bees was, other products include royal jelly, queen bees and pollen.

With greater recognition of the therapeutic and health benefits
of honey, local investors are beginning to explore emerging
value-adding opportunities, such as honey straws for
endurance athletes.

Most of the trees planted on the roadside cause challenge for the people; the tree grows rapidly and in multi-dimensional. As they grow into a different direction the roots get strengthen into different spaces and can disposition the road and also can affect its base. Most of the time you have to take the tree cutting services when the roadside tree grows its roots underground and appear on the road causing the damages and other problems with it.
