Residential gardens are a poor substitute for native bushland and increasing urbanisation is a growing threat when it comes to bees, Curtin University research has found.
Published in Urban Ecosystems , the research looked at bee visits to flowers, which form pollination networks across different native bushland and home garden habitats.
Lead author, Forrest Foundation Scholar Miss Kit Prendergast, from Curtin s School of Molecular and Life Sciences said the findings highlight the need to prevent destruction of remaining bushland and preserve native vegetation, in order to protect sustainable bee communities and their pollination services. Our study involved spending hundreds of hours at 14 sites on the Swan Coastal Plain at Perth, Western Australia, recording which bees visited which flowers in the two types of habitats - gardens and native bushland, Miss Prendergast said.

For the vaccination programme to be as successful as possible, it is important that as many residents as possible respond to the call and get the jab. In Northamptonshire, the vaccine is being offered by appointment in hospitals, at local vaccination clinics run by GPs, and at the Vaccination Centre in Moulton Park, Northampton.
Vaccinations are now being given to the following groups: people aged 80 and over some people aged 70 and over some people who are clinically extremely vulnerable people who live or work in care homes health and social care workers at high risk
