BEEkeeping for beginners
Bees are an integral component of our ecosystem. They pollinate flowers and most crops we eat, some make honey, and others help plants reproduce. Without bees, the longevity of our livelihoods is at risk. Australia has over 2,000 species of native bees.
Australia’s bee population is threatened by several factors, including:
The destruction of their natural habitat
Use of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and fertilisers, which are highly toxic to bees in agriculture and horticulture practices
Pests and diseases
A decline in commercial beekeeping.

You can help save the bees by planting plants that attract bees and other wildlife. You can feature a pollinator house in your garden that is designed to house native bees and create pollinator corridors between wild spaces for habitats affected by urbanisation.
