Free workshops are on offer from Moorabool Shire Council, with attendees to learn how to make a home for bees from recycled items.<\/p>\n

Two workshops will be held in May in Ballan and Trentham, with workshop participants to learn how to make \u2018bee hotels\u2019.<\/p>\n

The bee hotels are environmentally friendly not just because they support bees and their pollination of plants, but also because they are made from repurposed plastic bottles and plant debris.<\/p>\n

There are over 1600 species of bee in Australia, and most of them are solitary \u2013 meaning they don\u2019t live in hives but lay their eggs in small gaps in trees, reeds, and the ground.<\/p>\n

The bee hotels support these species, as Moorabool\u2019s natural environment gradually recovers from the major storms of June and October 2021.<\/p>\n

Native bee species are particularly important to our ecosystem, as they pollinate native plants which can\u2019t be pollinated by introduced bee species.<\/p>\n

All ages are welcome to participate in the family-friendly workshops on Saturday 14 May at the Trentham Neighbourhood Centre from 1\u20133 pm, or at the Ballan Neighbourhood Centre on Sunday 15 May from 1\u20133 pm.<\/p>\n

Participants will be able to take their bee hotels home, with the remainder to be donated to a Habitat Recovery Program.<\/p>\n

No bookings are necessary.<\/p>\n
