Tips to Help Bees
Here are a few simple tips that we can all do to help the bees in our communities:
Plant nectar-bearing flowers for decorative purposes on balconies, terraces, and gardens.
Buy only Australian made honey and hive products
Raise awareness among children and adolescents on the importance of bees and express your support for beekeepers.
Set up a pollinator farm or 'bee hotel" on your balcony, terrace, or garden; you can either make it yourself or buy one from selected gardening stores.
Mow your lawn or nature strip in the evening when bees are no longer foraging.
Encourage mixed species lawns and nature strips that include clover and other flowers and allow them to flower before mowing.
Substitute your grass-based lawns or nature strips with food producing plants that feed bees and people.
Support farmers using sustainable methods of agriculture which is healthier for us and for soil, water, biodiversity and the climate.
