The directors of the Avenues of Service will provide 5-minute presentations on their committees’ progress against plans for the current year and how these achievements contribute to our four strategic pillars - Progressive, Networked, Connected and a Catalyst for getting things done.
FROM THE LAST MEETING
President Rohan Williams – Welcome to country and acknowledgement. Welcomed guests.
Chair – Anne King proposed a toast to Rotary International.
Guest Speaker Gary Morton spoke about the importance of bee keeping in his presentation titled Toast and Honey.
Gary mentioned that one in every three mouthfuls of human food is produced by bees. A honey-bee can fly for up to eight kilometres from their colony, and as fast as 20 km per hour, but it would have to fly about three times around the globe to make half a kilogram of honey. Bees are highly productive insects, and keeping a beehive can be a beneficial exercise for almost anyone! The advent of the varroa mite in Australia has brought a new dimension to beekeeping that must be met head-on.
Gary also shared a video he had recorded to demonstrate his bee keeping equipment and apiary. The link to the video is below:
A fascinating presentation was followed by a lively question session, including on native bees, the pesticide problem for bees and city bee-keeping.
