BAIL OUT THE BEES WORKSHOP

Residents from Nanyima Aged Care

Bail out the Bees

On Monday 14th November, Pioneer Catchment & Landcare attended the new Mackay Regional Council Operational Facility for the residents at Nanyima Aged Care to help assemble bee hotels, achieved by placing native bee habitats into 12 durable hexagonal bee hotel frames, which were hand cut and assembled by a Pioneer Catchment landholder.

To keep on theme, we were lucky enough to have the very talented, Bee Creatives buzz into the workshop and sing their Homage to the Bees song which was produced by the Bee Creative and Unheard voices to celebrate World Bee Day, 20th May 2022.

The Bail out the Bees workshop was timed to coincide with Australian Pollinator Week,12th-20th November 2022.

We would like to sincerely thank Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal and BMA for funding this great event.
