Native Bees & Pollination - Experts Panel presentations
In the context where we hear in the news and read scientific evidences
that insect populations and pollinators are declining all over the
world, Sydney Bee Club decided to dedicate its monthly meeting to
Australian native bee pollinators. Many native bee species are
specialised and less generalists in their foraging sources compared to
European honeybees. Moreover their diversity helps to maintain a
stronger ecosystem and provides better food security. In challenged
environments which climate change is likely to trigger, the diversity
of native bees seems to be even more important to know and protect.
This Monday we invited 4 experts (see program below) which will
present facts, research and Sydney community activities around native
bees. In the session we will have real native bee nest and other
habitats, live polls, native bee honey tasting and a lot of dynamic
discussions! Come along to discover and learn beyond expectation!
Program:
* 18:15-18:30 Audience registration, social chat around tea, honey
cakes and nibbles
* 18:30-18:45 Intro with Q&A about European beekeeping trouble
shooting.
* 18:45-19:00 Interactive polling with Zeetings on native bees
(Audience from their phone reply live to our native bee fact quiz)
* 19:00-19:10 Lance Lieber (Landscaper, bee friends bondi
[https://www.facebook.com/beefriendsbondi/]) - General presentation
about Australian Native bees
* 19:10-19:20 Olivia Bernauer (PhD candidate in entomology
[https://oliviabernauer.wixsite.com/oliviabernauer])– Research
project on Pollination
* 19:20-19:40 Dr. Elke Haege (landscaper architect, consulting
arborist, Sydney bee club co-founder [https://www.elkeh.com.au/]) and
Dan Smailes (Sydney Native bees [http://www.sydneynativebees.com/])
present their diverse activities in the communities around native
bees.
* 19:40-19:00 Q&A and discussion with audience, Topic: How could we
boost the promotion of native pollinators to avoid general public to
focus only on European bees?
