The Honeybee

The Tasmanian honey bees are primarily European honey bees, first introduced in 1831, which have since developed a significant industry centered around leatherwood honey. Tasmania also has over 100 native bee species that are crucial for pollinating native plants. The state’s unique environment and strict regulations support its thriving honey production and beekeeping industry. Each honeybee colony is made up of around 95% workers, 5% drones and 1 Queen. Honey bees, like ants, termites and some wasps are social insects.
