First Australian Native Bee Conference

I shared my PhD work so far (In 3 minutes!) at The First Australian Native bee Conference 2018! 

What a fantastic day of learning about native bees in urban areas, the bush and farmlands. So many folk looking into the potential of native bees as pollinators of our food crops; like blueberries, raspberries and macadamias! Some crafty inventions to follow native bees with UV lights, painted wings and meta-barcoding! Excited to continue learning and follow these fantastic ecologists, bee keepers and farmers with their journeys!

If you’re wondering what my research is actually about, here’s a 3 minute snippet!

I acknowledge that the land on which I live and research is Gadigal Country. Different forms of learning, teaching and sharing have been ongoing on this land since time immemorial. Recognising Aboriginal people as the uncompensated, rightful owners of this land, the diversity of our cultures and communities, and valuing integrated knowledge systems are important steps to a participatory ecology.
