There are over 2000 species of native bees in Australia that play a vital role in pollinating plants, including the crops we eat. Sadly, bee populations are under threat from land clearing, pesticide use and the impacts of climate change.

But we can help our native bees by providing essential habitat in our gardens by the way of bee hotels.

We partnered with native bee ecologist Clancy Lester to teach you how to build your own bee hotel using locally sourced materials. Follow our step-by-step guide or watch our video to start making yours today.
