Thank you, Dr Diana Leemon
September 4, 2026
The Wheen Bee Foundation extends its gratitude and best wishes to Non-Executive Director Dr Diana Leemon, who is stepping down from the Board to focus on her research commitments.
Donate
All donations help us with our mission – to support research and conservation activities that address the national and global threats to bees.
Experience
One of our core objectives is to connect people integral to the cause. We facilitate events all year to spread the word and educate.
When most of us think of bees, we think of honey. But we often don’t think about the vital role bees play in feeding us all.
The Wheen Bee Foundation is an Australian registered not-for-profit charity that promotes awareness of the importance of bees for food security, and raises funds for research that addresses the national and global threats to bees.
We engage with all levels of government, the apiculture industry, bee reliant food industries, universities, research organisations and community. We fund vital strategic research, education and conservation initiatives that strengthen bees, improve pollination efficiency and increase food security and ecosystem health.
