A comprehensive guide to Australian native pollinators

Unlike The Australian Native Bee Book, which focuses on keeping stingless bees, especially Tetragonula carbonaria, this book provides an overview of all kinds of Australian native bees, identifying different species of native pollinators, their value to agriculture, and the ecology and life cycle of these insects. 

Keeping Australian native bees

This book also has sections on creating habitats in your garden for solitary native bees and a chapter dedicated to keeping stingless bees (written by Tim Heard), including splitting colonies. 

This book is useful not only to those interested in keeping native bees, but anybody interested in the wide variety of native insect species available even in their own backyard.
