Four experts explain how we can protect the rare – and increasingly at risk – spidery wattle.

A new paper provides the first statistically derived estimate of bee species richness around the world. But this is about more than bees.
From water fleas to seed shrimp, Australia’s desert rock holes shelter unique animals found nowhere else. But as the climate warms, their homes are at risk.
Quase todas (99,96%) das espécies de abelhas não morrem após a picada. Então, por que todo mundo acha que elas morrem?
99.96% of bee species do not die after stinging. So why does everyone think they do?
By lifting their gaze to the treetops rather than poking around on the ground, researchers discovered eight new species of masked bees.
Feral honeybees have become a major problem in Australia. It’s time to develop effective and practical control measures.
New research provides insights into the evolution and ecology of Australian bees. The capricious masked bee employs female nest guards in a cooperative social structure. Meanwhile, fussy feeders abound.
The last time a specimen was collected was in 1923.
In NSW, honeybees are listed as a key threatening process to biodiversity.
