Speaker: John Walter (Malmsbury Landcare), “Our native pollinators – beyond the honeybees”
The word “Pollinators” immediately conjures up images of honeybees in the mind of most people, however this presentation takes you beyond the honeybees with an up-close look at our native pollinators. Australia has 2000 species of native bee, but what about the impact of the flies, beetles, butterflies and moths. Let’s not forget the birds and mammals that also play their part. Noted local field naturalist, John Walter, will share his images and thoughts as he takes us Beyond the Honeybees.
