Wednesday Tim took me along to the Pollination Symposium in Keith that was held for Lucerne growers and Bee keepers. Amongst getting to know some of the community including the Volkenburg brothers who’d be doing some work with us, it was interesting to gain some insight into a crop and an industry that I hadn’t given any thought to previously. Lucerne, also known as alfalfa needs the help of bees to be pollinated so the farmers and the Bee keepers have to work together for their mutual benefit.
