AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) There has been minimal impact on hive numbers due to the drought so far. (2) The second question related to the Forest Management Regulations. As such, it is a Department of Conservation and Land Management issue and should be directed to the Minister for the Environment, as the matter falls within that portfolio. If the member wishes, I will ask the Minister for the Environment to respond directly on that matter.
