Native Bees & Pollinator Exploration - Meet the Scientist

This spring join Nearer to Nature and native bee expert Kit Predergast to uncover the secret lives of our pollinators! Learn about our native bees including a special ground nesting bee, and create habitat to attract them to your garden. Then we will head out to the bush to spot different pollinators in action, among the wildflowers. Dress up as your favourite pollinator for a chance to win a prize. Lets make spring buzz with science, fun and discovery.

This is not a 'drop and leave' event. All people under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible parent/carer. Parents/carers are responsible for the safety and well-being of children at all times.
