Did you know Australia has over 1700 species of native bees? Well Dr. Rosalyn Gloag certainly does. Ros is a lecturer and researcher from the University of Sydney and a key part of the innovative BEE lab. Join with us as we uncover some of the characteristics of our native stingless bees varieties and discuss how they are related to the common European honey bee. We learn about how these ‘stingless’ bees regularly rally and fight to the death and why they are so important to our environment as a whole.
