Sustainable Living: Backyard beekeeping 2021

Content from UpNext.com.au. Please don't scrape website.

Join us for an in-depth look at our often overlooked backyard superheroes - Australian bees! Backyard beekeeping does not always mean keeping bees in a hive. At this hands-on workshop you'll build a DIY bee-home, identify common species, and learn how to create welcoming habitat for different types of bees living in or visiting your backyard or balcony. This no-fuss form of 'backyard beekeeping' is easy, fun, and can assist Australian bee populations and increase Brisbane's biodiversity. All materials supplied.

Note: Brisbane City Council residents may be eligible to collect a Free Native Plants voucher at this workshop. For more information visit Council's Free Native Plants program and bring your rates notice or other document to the workshop.
