Reports on the important floral resources used in Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales and Victoria have already been produced. This report provides comparable information on the key floral resources used by the beekeeping industry in South Australia. Like other states this report is based on information provided by contributing beekeepers, and provides spatial information on where key resources are used by beekeepers in South Australia as well as some information on patterns of flowering and historical changes in resource use by beekeepers in South Australia. This project was funded from industry revenue that was matched by funds provided by the Australian Government. This report is an addition to RIRDC’s diverse range of over 1000 research publications, forms part of our Honeybee R&D program, which aims to improve the productivity and profitability of the Australian beekeeping industry.

Dr Chris Holden ably managed the financial aspects of the project on behalf of the Department of Environment and Heritage and communicated with the RIRDC through the protracted period of this project. Elena Pretrenas, Apiary Section of the Department of Primary Resources South Australia, kindly provided access to the names and addresses of registered beekeepers. This report is based on material provided by 103 South Australian beekeepers and their willingness to contribute information is gratefully acknowledged. Leigh Duffield, Keith Gibbs, David Clifford, Kay Lambert, Geoff Cotton and Ian Zadow also assisted by organizing regional gatherings of beekeepers and encouraging beekeepers to contribute to the survey. Geoff Cotton also provided access to his records of honey production over nearly 40 years for inclusion in the report and Bill Winner, on behalf of Capilano Honey Ltd, kindly made information on receipts of honey from South Australian beekeepers to be made available electronically for use in this report. The assistance of all of these people is gratefully acknowledged. iv Contents Foreword............................................................................................................................................... iii Acknowledgments................................................................................................................................. iv Executive Summary ............................................................................................................................ vii Introduction ........................................................................................................................................... 1 Objectives............................................................................................................................................... 1 Methods.................................................................................................................................................. 1 Results & Discussion ............................................................................................................................. 2 Response Rate to Survey..................................................................................................................... 2 History of surveyed beekeepers .......................................................................................................... 3 Locations used by commercial beekeepers in South Australia ........................................................... 5 Identification of plants used by commercial beekeepers in South Australia....................................... 9 Key plant species used by commercial beekeepers in South Australia............................................... 9 Flowering seasons and annual variation in flowering levels of key plants ....................................... 45 Comparisons with other lists of plants used by honeybees in South Australia ................................. 52 Changes in floral resource use by South Australian beekeepers....................................................... 52 Documenting floral resource use in the future .................................................................................. 55 References Cited.................................................................................................................................. 55 Appendix 1 ........................................................................................................................................... 56 v vi Executive Summary There have been no detailed surveys of the key floral resources used by the beekeeping industry in South Australia. Although Purdie (1968), Boomsma (1972) and Lewis (1977) provided lists of native plants of potential use to beekeepers in South Australia these early lists were likely to be out of date and did not provide any data on the locations being used by beekeepers to exploit different floral resources. Information about the floral resources and locations being used by beekeepers is important for regional planning particularly with respect to protecting floral assets and maintaining access for beekeepers to these assets. The primary objective of this study was to identify the major floral resources being used by South Australian apiarists and to document the locations where beekeepers placed hives when exploiting the different floral resources. The primary method of collecting data was by a questionnaire that was distributed to 216 beekeepers with at least 40 hives registered in South Australia. Each beekeeper was asked to answer a series of questions about their beekeeping operations. These included providing details of the locations that they used for their bees, the times of the year that these sites were used, the numbers of hives placed at each site and the main floral resources that were being used at each site. The initial responses to the questionnaire were poor (<30%) and additional data on floral resources were collected from individual beekeepers willing to be interviewed. Beekeepers were also asked to identify potential threats or changes to the floral resources that they used. Based on the responses of 103 beekeepers, at least 98 plant species were identified as providing important floral resources to beekeepers in South Australia. Of these, at least 66 were native species (mainly various eucalypts), at least 19 were introduced plants (many were agricultural weeds) and at least 13 were crop plants. The most important and widespread floral resources were Coastal Mallee (Eucalyptus diversifolia), South Australian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus leucoxylon) and Salvation Jane (Echium plantagineum). These plants were recorded as important sources at more than 100 locations in South Australia. Other widespread key plants included Lucerne (Medicago sativa), Canola (Brassica napus), Capeweed (Arctotheca calendula), and Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), Sugar Gum (E. cladocalyx) and Cup Gum (E. cosmophylla). Maps showing the locations used by beekeepers when exploiting the floral resources of the 30 most frequently reported plant species are provided in the report, including details of their flowering seasons,

    22 December 1997 Australian Systematic Botany, 10, 651–680 Geographic Variation in Eucalyptus diversifolia (Myrtaceae) and the Recognition of New Subspecies E. diversifolia subsp. hesperia and E. diversifolia subsp. megacarpa Ian J. WrightABC and Pauline Y. LadigesA ASchool of Botany, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Vic. 3052, Australia. BPresent address: School of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia. CCorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract Patterns of geographic variation in morphological and chemical characters are documented in Eucalyptus diversifolia Bonpl. (soap mallee, white coastal mallee). This species is found in coastal and subcoastal Australia from southern Western Australia to Cape Nelson (western Victoria), with a number of disjunctions in the intervening region. Morphological data from adult plants collected at field localities and seedlings grown under uniform conditions were analysed using univariate and multivariate methods, including oneway ANOVA, multiple comparison tests, non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), nearest neighbour networks, and minimum spanning trees. Seedling material was tested for isozyme polymorphism, and adult leaf flavonoids were analysed using liquid chromatography. Morphological and chemical characters are also documented in E. aff. diversifolia, a closely related but unnamed taxon restricted to ironstone outcrops near Norseman (WA), and putative E. diversifolia– E. baxteri hybrids from Cape Nelson. Congruent patterns in data sets distinguish three groups of E. diversifolia adults and progeny: (1) those to the west of the Nullarbor disjunction; (2) South Australian populations to the east of this disjunction; and (3) those from Cape Nelson. Formal taxonomic recognition of the three forms at subspecific level is established, namely E.

  • Year 3 Priority Species Scorecard (2018)
    Threatened Species Strategy – Year 3 Priority Species Scorecard (2018) Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo (south-eastern) Calyptorhynchus banksia graptogyne Key Findings South-eastern Red-tailed Black Cockatoos are highly dependent on seeds from just three tree species, as well as deep hollows in very old eucalypt trees for nesting. Habitat loss through tree decline has been caused by drying climatic changes and fire disturbance. Significant recovery efforts have focused on habitat protection and regeneration, however numbers of young birds joining the population are falling for reasons that are unclear. Photo: Bob McPherson Significant trajectory change from 2005-15 to 2015-18? No, ongoing slow decline. Priority future actions • Identify causes of low fecundity in breeding birds and low seed set in monitored trees • All important trees effectively protected against fire, clearing of habitat strictly forbidden • Known nest trees maintained, additional nest boxes erected near high quality feeding trees • A drought strategy developed and implemented Full assessment information Background information 2018 population trajectory assessment 1.
