AFMA is pleased to announce its partnership with the Wheen Bee Foundation in support of WORLD BEE DAY 2021.

In effect, AFMA and supportive farmers’ markets across Australia will be buzzing with activities to raise awareness of the vital role bees play in our food chain. We need bees. Farmers need bees to pollinate our food plants. We need bees for food security and to support biodiversity and eco-systems.

As World Bee Day is a Thursday farmers’ markets are invited to celebrate and support this initiative for a whole week from 15 – 23 May, straddling two weekends and World Bee Day.
