LIGURIAN BEES AND KANGAROO ISLAND BREEDING PLANS
Government and industry leaders push a Kangaroo Island breeding program for Ligurian bees to isolate queens and keep pure stock. Two breeding apiaries, one government run and one by Australian Producers Society, show progress though queen supply will be rationed. An early Ligurian keeper, J Collins of Collinsville, imported queens in 1886 but history was lost amid wild black swarms.
