Plans for Sunraysia set pollination company abuzz

AN American crop pollination company is set to establish its new regional headquarters in Mildura as part of a plan to support Australian growers and beekeepers.

BeeHero claims to be a data-driven technology company working in commercial crop pollination using field and hive monitoring technologies across a variety of crops such as almonds, canola, cherries, and pears.

Company chief executive and co-founder Omer Davidi said he was excited to be ramping up operations at “such an exciting time for BeeHero and Australian agriculture”.

“Relationships are at the heart of our work, powering our ability to support local beekeepers and growers in their efforts to sustainably produce the food the food that helps nurture the Australian population and economy,” he said.

“We look forward to partnering with the region’s corporate and family farms to improve pollination outcomes and operations for more efficient and profitable farming.”

The company’s expansion into Mildura will be spearheaded by newly appointed region manager Clayton Hiskins who has more than 20 years in the agriculture sector.
