Australia's native bees: thriving or declining? Scientists don't know
Original: Are Australia’s native bees thriving or declining? We don’t know but can find out # NativeBees # Bees # Australia # Biod
Researchers say Australia's native bee populations are so poorly monitored that nobody can say whether they are thriving or in decline. A new push argues that with better surveying, citizen science and Indigenous knowledge, the country could establish baseline data on its roughly 1,700 native bee species, which matter for pollinating crops and wild plants.
Why now: Growing concern about pollinator declines and biodiversity loss has drawn attention to the lack of data on native bee species.
