The Beeger Picture

She is also currently the Chairperson for the Lowveld region of the Northerns Beekeeping Association and serves on the board of the South African Beekeeping Organisation (SABIO). She has set up several forums with members from the beekeeper, farming and academic (universities) sectors to discuss and find solutions for the ongoing threats that face the honey bee in South Africa and especially the Mpumalanga Lowveld. She has developed several planting strategies to assist both beekeepers and farmers to ensure healthy honey bee populations that will in turn provide adequate pollination for the crops grown in the region. She has been communicating extensively with all role players, from DALRRD officials (both nationally and provincially) to University professors and Growers Associations of several agricultural crops grown in the Lowveld to ensure sustainable beekeeping and pollination into the future.
