Hey all,
Here is a photo of one of Australia's native bees, there are estimated to be over 2000 different species here. This lovely specimen lives in a colony and is unable to sting. Amazing creatures to observe :-)

They're indeed amazing, hopefully they'll survive!

Very solid numbers in Brisbane, I have faith they will survive :-)

We can use fungi to help save the bees!

Indeed we can, sound like we have a Paul Stammets fan here :-)

Bees are so rad!
