🎉🌟 FUN FACT FRIDAY! 🌟🎉 🦘 Did you know Australia has more than 1,500 species of native bees? 🐝🌸 And here's something even more interesting… Unlike European honeybees, many of Australia's native bees are solitary, meaning they live independently rather than in large colonies! 🏡 Some native bees are also excellent at buzz pollination, where they vibrate their bodies to release pollen from flowers. 🌼 These little workers play an important role in keeping our environment healthy and helping our plants thrive! 🌿💚 💬 Have you ever spotted a native bee in your garden? Happy Friday from everyone at Mareeba
