BEES & BEEKEEPERS
BEECONNECTED
Kidman Aviation understands the importance of working with beekeepers and industry, and knows that commercial beekeeping is often nomadic, with hives being moved multiple times in a year.
If you are a beekeeper, it is essential that you inform us of the location/s of your hives. We use BeeConnected, a free service provided for the beekeeping industry, which enables two-way communication between us and nearby beekeepers. We ask that beekeepers also make use of this excellent service, which is available online .

IT IS ESTIMATED
Honey bees pollinate one third of all food crops consumed by humans. Despite their small size, these insects are amazingly sophisticated, having a sense of smell 50 times more powerful than a dog and the most complex symbolic language on earth (outside of the primate family). Packing a million neurons into a brain measuring 1 cubic millimeter in size, bees give new meaning to the idea of making the best use of a small space.
