With the research available today, it’s hard to ignore the importance the native bee population has on our climate. In Maroochydore, environmental enthusiasts and bee-fanatics alike can sign up for a workshop, organised by Ann Ross, to help preserve our native pollinators.
Bees are an integral part of the human food chain. They help to pollinate the plants which grow fruit and nuts that we, in turn, consume. Bees populate all corners of the planet, except for Antarctica, and humankind everywhere can help these insects by improving potential habitats in gardens and parks. Providing a diverse array of pollen and nectar sources that flower at alternating times can help, as well as making sure your garden is free of pesticides. Leaving an untended area in the garden can encourage wild growth that bees love, and you may even consider providing a bee hotel. Such ideas are likely to be discussed in Ross’s workshop.
As a devoted bee-loving farmer at the forefront of agricultural innovation, Ross is well-placed to lead the workshop. There will also be an opportunity to sample native honey and enjoy a morning tea break. Promotional Products and saleable items from the Hive Haven may also be available to browse for interested parties.
The Native Bee Keeping Workshop with Ann Ross from Hive Haven takes place on Saturday 7th October, from 9.30am until midday. The venue is the MET, Corner First Avenue and South Sea Islander Way, Maroochydore, QLD 4558. The cost of the morning is $12.90.Get a Free Quote for Promotional Products
