When we hear the term ‘pollinators’ we often think about their importance for our environment and food security. The most famous pollinators are bees, but did you know pollinators are also birds, bats, butterflies, moths, and even small mammals! The world of pollinators is vast, exciting, and a growing field of research. In this free webinar we will explore the role of pollinators in eastern Melbourne and some of the key threats to their wellbeing.
