As part of Seniors Week, you're invited to a free hands-on workshop exploring the fascinating world of Australian native bees. Unlike European honey bees, our native species are solitary pollinators and play a vital role in maintaining healthy gardens and ecosystems.
In this interactive session, you’ll learn how to identify different native bee species, understand their unique behaviours, and discover simple, practical ways to make your garden more bee-friendly. You’ll also gain insight into how these tiny creatures contribute to biodiversity and food production.
The highlight of the workshop is a fun, creative activity where you’ll make your own native bee hotel using a clever coffee cup design. All materials are supplied, and no experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm!
Perfect for gardeners, nature lovers, and anyone interested in sustainability, this workshop is a great way to support native pollinators while learning something new. You’ll leave with your very own bee hotel and the knowledge to help bees thrive in your backyard.
