It's Australian Pollinator Week!
8-16 November

Our native pollinators provide key ecosystem services, which contributes to maintaining our unique biodiversity.

I photographed this little pollinator, a male 𝘏𝘺𝘭𝘢𝘦𝘶𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘴, this week on Wangal Land.

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝

This year's theme, "Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all", highlights the critical roles bees and other pollinators play in agrifood systems and ecosystem health.

Here's a Lipotriches bee buzz-pollinating a Dianella flower (Wangal land).

Male bees are often overlooked as pollinators, but they can pollinate too! Here's a male wood boring lithurgine bee enjoying our pumpkin flowers #ozinverts #ozpollinators 🌏
