AHBIC CEO and AgriFutures Deputy Chair Danny Le Feuvre joins me to compare the realities of beekeeping in Australia and the U.S. We trace Danny’s path from commercial beekeeper to industry leader, then dig into this season’s bee shortage for almonds—what drove it, how better grower–beekeeper contracting and communication can help, and what longer-term fixes look like. We unpack Australia’s varroa journey and the shift to transition-to-management, plus what’s next for biosecurity on the ground. Danny shares a clear-eyed view of honey prices and margins, and we tour pollination across almonds, avocados, macadamias, and canola, including how competition for hives is changing the calendar. Along the way, we talk adoption of innovation in Aussie ag and the biggest practice differences between Australia and the U.S.—from scale to chemistry to data.
