07.01.2022 ... for the Beekeepers

06.01.2022 Pretty excited about todays webinar, as part of Australian Pollinator Week. Have you got your ticket yet? https://events.humanitix.com/after-the-fires

04.01.2022 Strong biosecurity measures continue to be important for Australia to prevent pests and diseases harming our pollinators. World Bee Day is fast approaching, check out the isolation friendly events honouring our busy bees on www.worldbeeday.org.au

02.01.2022 Solitary bees carry thousands of dry pollen grains in special hairs (scopa). The dry grains are easily transferred to reproductive flower parts, enhancing cross pollination

01.01.2022 Did you know... Some bees perform specialised ‘buzz’ pollination services. Pollen, that is locked-up inside anthers, is liberated by bees that vibrate their bod...ies, to shake the pollen out of the flower. Bees specialising in buzz pollination include bumbles bees, blue banded bees, teddy bear bees and many other ground nesting bees. World Bee Day is 6 days away, check out the isolation friendly events honouring our busy bees on www.worldbeeday.org.au
