Help us save the bees
No bees, no honey — and a lot less food on our plates. Bees pollinate fruit, vegetables, nuts and the pastures that feed our livestock. About one in every three mouthfuls of food we eat relies on pollinators like the honey bee. When bees struggle, our gardens, farms and food supply struggle too.
How you can help
🌼 Plant for bees: lavender, rosemary, salvia, borage, native grevilleas and eucalypts give bees food for months.
🚫 Go easy on sprays: avoid pesticides on flowering plants, or spray in the evening once bees have gone home.
💧 Leave out water: a shallow dish with a few pebbles gives thirsty bees a safe place to drink.
🍯 Buy local honey: choosing Australian honey supports local beekeepers and healthy bees.
🐝 Found a swarm? Please don't spray it. Call a local beekeeper or your council to have it safely collected.
