MAKE YOUR OWN NATIVE BEE HOTEL ON VALENTINES DAY
Send a love message to our native bees by making a bee hotel for your garden.
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll create a welcoming nesting spot for native bees and other important pollinators. Our bees need our help, and there’s so much we can do right in our own backyards.
We’re excited to be teaming up with the Ginninderra Catchment Group to deliver this Australian native bee workshop, where you’ll learn about the wonderful diversity of native bee species found in Canberra and the surrounding region.
During the workshop, participants will build a simple, bee-safe hotel designed specifically for local native bees. Many commercially available bee hotels are unfortunately unsuitable, often with holes that are too short or made from inappropriate materials. This workshop ensures you’ll go home with a bee hotel that truly supports native bees.
Who is this for?
This workshop is suitable for children 8 years and older, accompanied by one adult.
✔️ One bee hotel per family ticket.
We also ask participants to help us support citizen science by monitoring native bee activity in their hotel once it’s installed at home and recording observations on Canberra Nature Mapr.
Cost
Thanks to the generous support of the ACT Government 2025 Environmental Grants Program, this workshop is offered free of charge.
A $10 place-holding fee applies and will be fully refunded on the day.
Come along, learn something new, and make a real difference for our native bees! 🌼🐝
