Native Bees of Western Australia – Poster:
Native bees play a critical role in pollination of our edible and ornamental plants. This beautifully illustrated poster by local artist Sarah Davies is full of useful and practical information on how to identify our local native bees, how to attract them to our gardens and how to encourage them to make their homes there.
A gorgeous gift idea for gardeners of any age.
Printed on recycled paper using vegetable inks.
