>One of my patients gave me a National Geographic with a great article on >migratory beekeeping. Check out the May 1993 issue, pages 73 - 93. <snip> Haven't seen this article, but gather that it dealt with migratory beekeeping in the U.S. (please correct me if I am wrong). I would be interested to know a bit about migratory beekeeping in West Australia, where I gather that many beekeepers follow the bloom as it moves north. Do we have any West Australian beekeepers on the list? I gather that Nick Wallingford is originally from a large family beekeeping operation in West Australia. Do you know of any information on the internet about migratory beekeeping there, Nick? I once worked in West Australia and was stunned by the bloom there after it rains.
