What do you picture when you hear the word Bee? Possibly the first thing that pops into your mind is the European Honey Bee, which isn't native to Australia at all! So what about our native Australian bees, what do they look like, do they make honey, do they sting!? If you want to learn more about our native bees then this is the episode for you! I speak with Dr Mark Hall who loves native pollinators and is involved with the Pollinator Corridors Project. He is also Vice President of the Australian Native Bee Association and is the Biodiversity Officer for the City of Greater Bendigo. Listen in to learn about masked bees, why some bees blow bubbles and what buzz pollination is. You will also learn about protecting our bees and why it is so important to do so!
