There’s a buzz about these bees

HAVE you ever wanted to learn more about native bees, our little helpers?
Chances are you have Australian native bees in your garden, and Bob the Bee Man is holding a workshop to teach locals how to take care of these life-giving, little creatures that do so much for our gardens and bushland.
Bob the Bee Man will present a workshop at the Veggie Village at Peregian Beach on Sunday 10 May.
Bob the Bee Man, also known as Bob Luttrell, is a man on a mission. He wants to spread the word about how important these stingless little creatures are and how we can help save and encourage them, particularly when we’re about to remove a tree they call home.
Bob will be giving lots of practical advice on supporting stingless, native bees, and he will be splitting the two native bee hives he established at Veggie Village at his last workshop, which have been busy pollinating the community gardens ever since.
Bob’s last workshop at Veggie Village was very popular so it’s best to book in advance to secure your space.
The workshop will be held on Sunday 10 May, from 9am to 11am at the Peregian Beach Veggie Village, Rufous Street, Peregian Beach.
The cost is $15 per person and includes morning tea. To book, phone Lin Martin at Veggie Village on 0417 711 624, or email info@veggievillage.org.au
