World Bee Day

World Bee Day

Did you know Australia is home to an estimated 2,000 different species of native bee?

That's a lot of variety! There are teddy bear bees, carpenter bees, leafcutter bees, stingless bees, blue banded bees and many more, and they are all a vital part of this land's amazing ecosystems.

Hi @Shaz51

Thanks for all this bee info - although I am allergic to bee stings I really think bees themselves are great.

I wonder how many people really know how useful and important bees are - it would be a disaster if they all disappeared.

David Attenborough is listed high among important people - he tells us so much.

I hope you are as well as you can be

Hi @Shaz51

The only bee that I remember is the one which stung me on the butt when I was 5, I remember my Mum trying to pull the stinger out and me yelling my head off!!!!!!

Now that was a blast from the past!!! thanks @Shaz51

Re: World Bee Day

That's a lovely nickname @Glisten. More people need to take an interest in insects because they're the army that maintain our environments, and they're vital to our food chain...and they're becoming extinct alarmingly quickly...and they're actually very interesting. Did you know that if you accidentally touch a cockroach, it will scurry away and clean itself because they think humans are disgusting creatures. I think that's hilarious; cockroaches and humans, it turns out are mutually disgusted by each other! 😆
