How to support Australian pollinators this Australian Pollinator Week
Join communities across Australia in celebrating the vital role of Australian bees and other pollinators in our environment, gardens and food systems. Every action helps shine a light on the pollinators that keep Australia blooming.
Host and promote your event
Download the Communications Pack for ready-to-use social media content, newsletter copy and downloadable posts to support all three key phases of Australian Pollinator Week.
Plant for Pollinators
Created by experienced botanists and field ecologists, you’ll find a curated list of native trees, shrubs and flowers that thrive in your local area and provide essential food and habitat for bees and other pollinators.
Build a Pollinator Nest
As land is cleared to build houses or shopping centres, we remove natural wildlife habitat. We can, however, provide additional nesting space for bees, to help them find a safe place to rear their offspring.
Do a Pollinator Count
Engaging citizen scientists to help researchers and scientists better understand the plight of Australia’s insect pollinators by providing important data. The Count only takes two minutes.
Host your own Pollinator Picnic
Spread out a rug and celebrate Australia’s magnificent pollinators with an Australian Pollinator Week picnic. Celebrate with friends or family – in your backyard or a local park.
Prepare a Bee-Inspired Menu
Restaurants and cafes can celebrate with a specials menu that features pollinator-dependant ingredients and promote pollinators’ importance for food security.
Host a Screening of 'The Pollinators'
If there is not already a screening scheduled nearby, you can nominate one risk free and at no cost. The screening will only proceed where the minimum number of tickets are sold.
