Environmental Education Workshops

Clancy fell in love with native bees through research trips to North-East

Arnhem Land, NT where he learned

about how important they are to Yolŋu

First Nations and how they are sadly

declining like most insects globally.

He aims to educate the public about our native pollinators and raise awareness about the threats that they are facing before providing things that participants can do to help out and get involved such as recommending native flowering habitat like bee hotels.

His workshops combines conservation, education, and sustainability, all centred around native bee/pollinator biodiversity.

School Incursions 

Incursions with school groups from Early learning and primary school age, to high school and university groups.

Workshops

Hands on conservation sessions with community groups, local councils and

businesses.

Festival Events 

A drawcard for any sustainability/

gardening festival is a bee hotel workshop + info about native bee friendly gardens.

Presentations 

Slides to educate about pollinators for

every occasion - council meetings,

conferences, corporate, local community groups.

Cavity Nesting Bees - Stems

Using bamboo, hollow reeds, and/or dead flower stems, cut them to around 200mm lengths and jam them into a PVC pipe, empty tin can, or even a plastic bottle.

Cavity Nesting Bees - Hardwood

Using native hardwood such as eucalyptus that is cut to around

200mm lengths. Vary the drill bits from 3-9mm in diameter to cater for a range of different sized native bees.

Ground Nesting Bees

Using a mix of clay and sand, pack into any durable container. Use the tip of a pencil or a stick to poke small holes and place them horizontally on the ground in an area that receives plenty of sun, usually north facing.

What Topics?

How Many People

There is no minimum number of participants! I am flexible but I do find that the sweet spot is around 10-30 members. I have done festival drop in sessions catering for >300 people.

Every small action—planting a native flower, learning about pollinators, or spreading the word—makes a big difference.

Your support fuels our work, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of this buzzing community. 

Together, we’re building a future where native bees are celebrated, protected, and supported.

We have held over 75 sessions across Australia, helping to spread knowledge and skills that benefit native insects.
