The 2022 mintmark 2 dollar celebrates a vital part of our foodchain.
2022 marks the bicentenary of the establishment of the bee-keeping industry in Australia.
Although there are more than 1,500 species of honeybees native to Australia, they tend to produce relatively low amounts of honey. The European honey bee was successfully introduced to Australia in 1822, and adapted to Australia’s climate and flora.
Most Australian honey comes from this introduced species.
Not only do bees produce delicious honey, they are also regarded as a valuable agricultural commodity by providing free pollination services - honey bee pollination is estimated to contribute $4 to $6 billion to the economy.
Across Australia, there are approximately 20,000 registered beekeepers who operate more than 640,000 hives, producing up to 30,000 tonnes of honey each year. This honey is consumed in nearly 40 countries across the globe, including Canada, China, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and, of course, Australia.
The coin and card offered here both remain in excellent condition.
