PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Domesticating Australian native bees for use as alternative pollinators
Australian agriculture is facing an existential threat in the form of Varroa mites, honeybee ectoparasites that will likely cause widespread colony collapses and disruptions to pollination. To address the urgent challenge posed by the establishment of Varroa mites in Australia, we aim to domesticate native Australian bees to use as an alternative pollinator.
