Did you know..
Australian native bees are under threat, in spite of the beauty and value of these remarkable insects. Our native bees delight observant gardeners with their dazzling colours and their fascinating behaviour. Our native bees are also vital pollinators, they help our wildflowers to survive and increase the yield of many of our agricultural crops.
