About the Event
Australia has over 1700 native bee species, all playing their critical part in our uniquely Australian environment and ecosystems. With the ongoing loss of habitat, and other threats to our wildlife, we all have a role to play in protecting our precious bees.
Learn about some of our most popular and beautiful native bees, and how to attract them into your garden with plants and insect hotels. You will also see inside a native stingless bee hive and get to taste their amazing honey. This workshop will cover both our native solitary bees and our stingless bees, and options for keeping them in gardens or even on decks and verandas.
