Researchers buzzing over new business to improve bee health
A new spin-out business that will help improve the health and management of the State’s bee population has been launched by The University of Western Australia.
UWA Scientific Bee Services, led by UWA’s Cooperative Research Centre for Honey Bee Products, will work with the beekeeping industry to offer consulting and outreach services, and provide bees and queens for sale.
“As a research facility we are best placed to offer research-backed products and services, which could help beekeepers improve the management of their bee populations.”

Astronomers have detected a bright, long-duration optical flare accompanied by intense radio bursts from Proxima Centauri, the Sun’s nearest stellar neighbor. Their results are an important step to using radio signals from distant stars to effectively produce space weather reports.

Proxima Centauri, the smallest member of the Alpha Centauri system, is an M5.5-type star located 4.244 light-years away in the southern constellation of Centaurus.
The star has a measured radius of 14% the radius of the Sun, a mass of about 12% solar, and an effective temperature of only around 3,050 K (2,777 degrees Celsius, or 5,031 degrees Fahrenheit).
