Also saw my beautiful blue banded bee friend but I couldn't pull my phone out fast enough to get a photo, she was pollinating my "lambs ears" plant that's just got some flowers :3

Tetragonula carbonaria is one of the few stingless native bees in Australia. It’s tiny (compared to normal honey bees) but it makes the sweetest honey I’ve ever tasted. It is also the only commercially available native bees in Australia at the moment.

Was looking up some facts about #bees when I found out that there about 1500- 2000 known #native Australian bees & well I did come across 2 of them while growing up in Sydney and that’s the #Australian stingless bees and the #Australian blue Banded bee although at the time I had no idea that they were bees; there’s really not a lot of information on native Australian animals & critters witch I find sad because they’re really interesting to learn about and try to draw ✍️ maybe one day the wild Kratts bothers will talk about all the different bees of Australian or or other creatures they’ve not covered yet (I mean they’ve done a fantastic job explaining about the kangaroo 🦘 Tasmanian devil so I feel like they’ll do great finding out about native bees 🐝 ✏️✍️🐾🐝

What in the world are these insects? They are cuckoo bees that are native to Australia. Buzzy little cuties, right?

I saw this bee (passed away from old age looking at the amount of wear on her body and wings) and lost my mind. She's the biggest bee I've ever seen! She's a female Australian Great Carpenter Bee, the biggest bee in Australia! They are born with a little bald spot in the yellow fluff, but hers has been worn bigger as she got older.

Thanks for your hard work, Ms Bee!
