Native Bees of Canberra Home Gardens, a research project. sightings

This pilot research project on Native Bees in Canberra Home Gardens is part of a larger research project called Insect Pollinators of Canberra Home Gardens. It is being organised by Meredith Cosgrove (mcosgrove) and aims to better understand insect pollinators in Canberra's home gardens.

As part of the larger project on Insect Pollinators of Canberra Home Gardens, I have created a Survey Point called "Pollinator-friendly garden Conder". This enables us to have a field guide for all insects in my garden. See: Conder Garden Field Guide for Insects. Also see All the Conder Garden Insect sightings.
