It's World Bee Day and there's a real buzz about the role bees and other pollinators (and beekeepers) have in producing our food! 

From little things, big things grow... germinating clover.

Home. Where there's paddocks of green, lush lucerne (alfalfa). 
Smells even better in the bale! 

Next stop: Primary Industries Education Foundation of Australia (PIEFA) Conference, Canberra

Yesterday's Nuffield International Triennial Conference and tours hosted by Nuffield New Zealand took in a visit to Wilkins Farming and Mt Nicholas Station. 

With the most incredible views, Mt Nicholas Station is a 36,000ha Merino wool operation on the banks of Lake Wakatipu. The most amazing day! 

Taking in the views of Lake Tepako, New Zealand.

We've been enjoying the Nuffield International Triennial Conference and tours hosted by Nuffield New Zealand. From deers to dairy, beef and lamb, to merino wool!

This evening wraps up the week-long Nuffield Contemporary Scholars Conference (CSC) hosted by Nuffield Canada with Scholars from 15 countries in Vancouver, Canada.

Yesterday we were out and about with a tour of Ocean Spray's Richmond Receival Site, the G3 Terminal, and OceanWise, before taking in a harbour cruise.
