My bee-attracting project!!! I used to have native bees living in a self watering pot on my verandah so I’m hoping to attract them again! A hive of bees costs about $500 so free bees are better!! #nativebees #australiannativebees #flowers (at Alexandra Hills, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/jenguin19/p/BsFSemvhSt1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iysca4cl16lj

These are my favourite bees; the native Blue Banded Bee! They are great pollinators; this one is feeding from our Comfrey. 🐝 #bees #bluebandedbees #pollinators #australiannativebees #farmlife #oakfarm #ruralvictoria #healesville #cioccolatabella #buzzpollination (at Healesville, Victoria)

Found this cutie hanging around our borage today. There are actually plenty of them and am extremely happy to find native bees here. #bluebandedbees #australiannativebees #nativebees #ruralvictoria #healesville #pollinators #yarravalley #gardening #organicgardening #cioccolatabella #bees

This website is great for making homes for Australian native bees! We need our bees!

Hey everyone!,

Bees are so important and there are many ways we can help them! This website can help with looking after our Native Bees. It has information on building homes for the Solitary bees! Lately I’ve also been building a bee bath for them! Which is pretty much like a normal bird bath but just adding rocks to it for the bees to sit on! 

Anyways its good just checking out the website and learning about bees! :)

My very first Blue banded bee!!! 

The native headbanger/buzz polinator Amegilla cingulata. 

Snapped here on the long blooming & edible perennial Red Valerian/Kiss me quick/Jupiters beard Centranthus ruber.

Blue banded bees are quality pollinators to solanaceae crops in particular (Tomatoes, chillis, potatoes and my little aubergine). These very cute (and very speedy) solitary bees, have a penchant for blue & purple flowers. But then.. don’t we all.

Much thanks to the inspiringly beautiful Heronswood gardens Vic AUST
