Bees of Australia

Australia has over 2,000 species of native bees. Australian native bees are important pollinators of our magnificent wildflowers and native plants. Significant to both Australia's environment and agriculture, Australia depends almost entirely upon bees for crop pollination.

Native bee species such as leafcutter bees, mason bees and alkali bees have been developed as efficient pollinators of crops such as lucerne and apples. But bee populations are under threat. Destruction of their natural habitat, intensive farming practices, and pests and diseases are just some of the complex reasons driving a decline in both the number and diversity of bees. Without bees, our food security is at risk.

That’s why we need your help to ensure our bee population thrives.
