Native bees of Sydney

Learn about the diversity of native bees in Sydney and how to create bee-friendly gardens at home.

Tuesday 11 November, 6.30-7.30pm

Australia is home to about 2,000 species of native bees. Some are solitary, a few live in social colonies and then there are flies and wasps that try to look like bees!

During this one-hour talk, entomologist and professional educator Dr. Amelie Vanderstock will teach you how to identify the different groups of bees and bee-mimics. You will also learn where they live and how to encourage them to pollinate your garden.

Registrations for this event will open from 9am, 22 October.

Note: Children under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present for the duration of the event.
