Native Bee Hotel Workshop

Join us to celebrate World Bee Day for a fun and hands-on workshop with Clancy Lester. Learn all about Australia's incredible native bees and build your own bee hotel to take home! All materials are provided.

Clancy is a native bee man and nature enthusiast. He grew up on Yorta Yorta land in country Victoria and couldn't get enough of Steve Irwin footage and David Attenborough documentaries. Clancy fell in love with native bees through research trips to North-East Arnhem Land, NT where he learned about how important they are to Yolŋu First Nations and how they are sadly declining. He aims to educate the public about our native pollinators and raise awareness about the threats that they are facing before providing things that participants can do to help out and get involved such as recommending native flowering plant for gardens or building nesting habitat like bee hotels. His workshops combines conservation, education, and sustainability, all centered around native bee/pollinator biodiversity.
