It's pollinator week, and we are celebrating by learning all about bees.

Did you know that there are more than 2000 different species of Australian native bees? Almost all of these species are solitary bees – they don’t live in social colonies like honey bees do, but have individual nests.

During this workshop, Holly from Holly's Backyard Bees will teach us about some of the Australian native bees that we might come across in our gardens in Victoria, what kind of plants that they like, and how we can provide habitat for them to welcome them into our gardens and play spaces.

Native bees also play an important role in pollination and our sustainable food systems.

This is a hands-on workshop where all participants will make an insect hotel to take home to provide habitat for these amazing insects.

This is an all-ages family friendly event, anyone under the age of 18 must have a booked adult accompany them at all times.
