Here at Nuplas, we recognise that this is a challenging time for the beekeeping industry, with concerns about Varroa Mite and the difficulties of keeping operations going in a tough market. We’ve spoken to many commercial and hobbyist beekeepers from all over Australia, and have heard firsthand of their hardships. As beekeepers ourselves, we understand the critical role bees play in our ecosystem and agricultural landscape. The threat of Varroa Mite has posed significant challenges to beekeepers nationwide, jeopardising bee colonies, honey production and pollination across the country.

We take immense pride in being more than just a supplier to beekeepers – we are passionate about the industry, so we endeavour to go above and beyond to provide support and help keep as many people in beekeeping as we can.

Nuplas Expert Series
We’ve recently started our Expert Series – where we will talk to people from all walks of the beekeeping world, to gain valuable insights and education into a variety of topics.
Our first installment is a conversation with prominent biologist and beekeeper Randy Oliver, who has had to deal with Varroa disrupting his operations, about topics including selective breeding, hive hygiene, disease control and living with Varroa. You can get the full conversation delivered to your inbox and hear Randy’s fascinating insights into his research, experiences and his words of advice and encouragement to all of us here in Australia. Get your copy of the video here. Look out for future instalments of our Expert Series delivered directly to you as they become available, and if you have any suggestions for topics you’d like us to address, please feel free to let us know!
