Beyond the Birds and the Bees: Engaging Beekeeper’s Knowledge of the Environment to Improve Management of Public Lands in South-west Western Australia - Linda Wilson

This research shows how declining honeybee productivity in Western Australia reflects broader ecosystem degradation. Beekeepers rely on healthy, biodiverse landscapes, but logging, fire regimes, and climate change reduce nectar availability. Integrating beekeeper ecological knowledge into land management can support pollination, biodiversity, and conservation outcomes for both agriculture and native species.
