UWA Science Masterclass | Authenticating honey from the apiary site to shelf

‘Paddock to plate’ is the mantra for tracing the authenticity of agriculture produce. For honey, the paddock is difficult to define. Honey bees cannot be fenced so their forage is diverse bush and their range is defined by weather conditions and available flora. 

Join Dr Liz Barbour and Dr Bryan Boruff from The University of Western Australia as they explain the science behind the new system that the Cooperative Research Centre is developing to ensure that all Australian honey is authenticated by State and region.

The 2020 UWA Science Masterclass series was hosted by the UWA School of Agriculture and Environment over five week and aimed to demonstrate The University of Western Australia’s (UWA) impact on tackling global, regional and local issues in our natural environment.
