Helping the bees to help us.
We also provide hive splitting and rescue services, helping native bee populations thrive while supporting local ecosystems.
Schools & Education
Australia is a vast country and home to over 1,700 identified species of native bees—possibly as many as 2,000. Yet so many people I speak to have only ever heard of the European honeybee!
With a background in teaching, it became clear to me that the most meaningful way to change this was through early education. So, I set out to share the story of our incredible native bees with the next generation.
Native Bees in a Box offers fun, interactive, and informative incursions designed specifically for pre-schools and primary schools. These hands-on experiences spark curiosity, build understanding, and inspire children to care for our environment.
Also available are hives of native bees plus educational resources, to help schools create lasting connections with these important little pollinators
Our incursions bring science to life as students experience the unique taste of native bee honey, discover how bees sense the world through their antennae, and take part in an interactive pollen hunt.

A social enterprise is a business that puts people and planet first. It trades like any other business but exists specifically to make the world a better place. It has a mission which directly addresses a social, cultural and/or environmental need, reinvesting a substantial portion of its efforts and resources to support that mission.
