Thanks to the ABC for shining a light on the ongoing efforts of Billion Bees Foundation rehoming program.
Established in early 2020, the Billion Bees Foundation is dedicated to the restoration and long-term conservation of Australian bees in our communities.
We have many projects in the bee scape. Our current focus is working with bushfire affected communities in Queensland and New South Wales, to repopulate and conserve Australian stingless bees on their lands. Stingless bees are known pollinators of many native plants and will aid in the restoration of bushland and biodiversity in regions devastated by the Black Summer fires.
This site is a place for you to connect with others that are passionate about Australian native bees, find educational resources, to learn how to propagate stingless bees and ask a question of mellitologists (bee experts).
