The buzz about native bees, Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha

Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha

On Sunday 15 November 2026 at 10:30 the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha in Toowong hosts a guided session called The buzz about native bees. The listing explains that pollination is the essential step in producing next season's plants, and that flowering plants rely on help from birds, bees and even humans, while some plants have specialist pollinators and may depend on a single insect species. It raises questions about what happens when such plants are moved to a distant location or grown over acres of one species, and invites visitors to look at active pollinators in the garden. Participants are asked to wear a hat and enclosed walking shoes and to bring a water bottle and sunscreen. The meeting point is the Mt Coot-tha Visitor Information Centre. The listing gives the entry as free, and the session runs from 10:30 to 12:00. A guided garden walk is easy to join alone, since everyone shares the same curiosity. «Please wear a hat, enclosed walking shoes, and be sure to bring a water bottle and sunscreen.» Starts 10:30, ends about 12:00.
