Melbourne Museum - Native Australian Bees
Melbourne Museum brings you – Native Australian Bees. They are unique as they have evolved at the same time as the Eucalyptus plant family – one of the most ancient flowering plant family in the world. These bees play a vital role in pollination of Australian wild flowers and many food crops.
BeeZine Activity
Melbourne Museum want you to know a little more about our little bees so you can be more aware of their importance to our country and planet.
They have created a little BeeZine – a little magazine full of fun activities and facts about three Australian Native Bees, even though there are nearly 1700 across Australia.
You can colour them in to see their incredible beauty, find out what flowers they frequent and much more. Enjoy folding your BeeZine, once you have printed it off and get buzzy.
Rain, hail or shine, these kits are perfect for a craft activity in the school holidays, or even great entertainment for you both to do on your kid’s birthday.
Have fun making your very own natural products with your children (Please note we recommend adult supervision).
