The humble honey bee not only provides us with delicious honey, but the small insect plays a vast role in the pollination of fruit, vegetable and seed crops making it a vital link in the food chain.

In order to help bees continue with their vital work, a Victorian man has launched a beekeeping project to increase the number of bees on the Surf Coast while raising awareness of their importance.
