The South Melbourne BEE Gardens are Australia’s first public gardens dedicated to the sustenance of honey bees and native bees and habitat for native bees. BEE stands for Bees, Education and Environment.
As well as looking beautiful, the plants (and their positions) have been chosen based on science, studies and experts’ opinions to attract not only bees but all the other amazing critters that come along with them like other pollinators, insects, microbats, birds and lizards.
The BEE Gardens educate through positivity, beauty, accessibility and joy - the best ways to teach and create awareness. The Gardens further engage big and small people through clear and informative signage.
