It has been almost 2 years since the St Martins Melbourne Pollinator Corridor site was first planted out with almost 1000 wildflowers, shrubs and trees. In that time we have been monitoring the critters that have been calling it home including our gorgeous butterflies…

Though we at Heartscapes love and respect honey bees, the MPC is actually not designed for them. It is designed first and foremost for our native pollinating insects which includes native bees.

Niall Fahy is Strategy and Key Projects Manager at Flow and he has a really fascinating and important take on our native bees. Flow are partners with The Heart Gardening Project and have supported us both financially and strategically for which we are very grateful! It was fantastic to have the opportunity to ask Niall some questions about native bees here in Australia and around the world...
