Bee Bonanzam – building a bee hotel

We’re learning how to build a bee hotel under the guidance of Adrian O’Hara from Cumberland Plain Regeneration.

After we build our bee hotels, we’ll be doing a weeding activity to help improve habitat for our native bees.

We’re celebrating Pollinator Week so join us and have an un-BEE-lievable time!

Bees play a vital role in our environment as they pollinate our plants — including the ones we eat — and help them survive. This is a great opportunity to learn more about bees and other pollinators that call Penrith’s bushland home.

Refreshments, bee hotel materials and weeding activity equipment all provided.

What can I expect?

• You’ll be provided with tools, training, and guidance on how to build your hotel and weed. No experience is required!
• Tea, coffee, and refreshments.

What do I need to wear and bring?

• Wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy closed-in shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
• Bring a bottle of water.
• Gloves for weeding. No worries if you don’t have any — we will bring extras.

Who can come along?

Anyone! It doesn’t matter if you have years of Bushcare volunteering experience or none at all — the Bushcare Group welcomes anyone and everyone who has an interest in conserving our local bushland.

Children must be supervised by an adult.

Is parking available?
