Australia is home to over 1,700 species of native bees, with more than 300 found in South Australia alone. These bees display remarkable nesting diversity—some, like Lasioglossum and other Halictidae, burrow into sandy soils or clay banks, while others, such as Hylaeus and Megachile, prefer to nest in natural cavities within dead wood, reeds, grass stems, or pithy twigs. Many also repurpose old beetle tunnels or cracks in natural materials, highlighting the importance of habitat variety in susta

Blue banded bees are gentle, solitary Australian native bees. They don’t have hives like honeybees, instead they burrow in soft mud bricks and crevices to nest and roost together in small groups, hanging onto the twigs with their mandibles 🥺These sweet little fuzz pots love the flowers on chili, tomato, and eggplants - their unique buzz pollination is going to give you the best fruit. Basil and rosemary are also a favourite, so let them go to flower in spring. They’re important pollinators and

Austalian native social bees are generally small, black and stingless. They live in colonies and and feed on pollen and nectar not unlike European honey bees, but that's where a lot of their similarities end. Our native bees not only look very different but also have a very different way of making their brood, honey and nests!
