For #WorldBeeDay, here are two awesome #Australian bees. Our biggest, Xylocopa, and our smallest, Euryglossina (which also happen to be the smallest bees in the whole world!). Just two of Australia's 1600+ bee species. So much still to learn about Australian #bees!
Congratulations to Slovenia not just for World Bee Day but also for leading the way on laws to protect bees! xitter.cf/tadejrupel/status/9971…

It's #WorldBeeDay 🐝, and I'm in Slovenia learning about their native honeybees (and wearing my bee earrings of course!). Plus some cultural sightseeing - including the gorgeous Lake Bled 😍

There are a staggering 25,000 different species of #bee in the world. 7 of these species are #honeybees; 250 #bumblebees, and the rest are #solitarybees. You can help them all by planting more pollen & nectar rich flowers, and by NOT using pesticides...
