What’s the Buzz?
About 1 in every 3 bites of food we eat depends on pollination! While many animals help such as birds, bats, butterflies and even mosquitoes, Bees are the most well-known pollinators. Although the Varroa destructor mite is devastating European honeybees, Australia is home to over 1,600 native Bee species that arenโt affected by it.
The good news? We can all play a role in protecting these incredible pollinators. Learning how to support Bative Bees is a great place to start. Secure your spot in the workshop and discover how you can help.
