Discovering and documenting Australia's native bees
In November 2020 Taxonomy Australia and the Wheen Bee Foundation launched a funding drive for DiscoverBees, a campaign to significantly accelerate the discovery and documentation of Australia's native bees.
The launch, by Dr Max Whitten, Chairman of the Wheen Bee Foundation, following a webinar featuring fascinating introductory talks by Dr Tobias Smith on Australia's diverse native bees, Dr Ros Gloag on why bees matter, and Dr Ken Walker on why naming bees is important.
