Educational Resources

Introducing Exciting New Resources for All ANBA Branches
Last year, the Hunter Branch of the ANBA approached Newcastle artist Gina Cranson with an idea: to create a suite of new products that ANBA branches could use for community engagement and education. Gina, well known as the creator of our stunning Native Bees of Australia posters enthusiastically came on board. In a collaborative effort between the Hunter Branch and the National ANBA Committee, Gina has now produced a beautiful new range of educational and fundraising items. We are delighted to share them with you. A Fresh Collection of Educational Designs The new range includes colouring-in sheets, badges, and a custom ANBA stamp.

File Downloads for ANBA Members. You need to be logged in to your ANBA account to download the files. 

Colouring-in Sheets:
Gina designed four unique sheets, each featuring a different native bee species alongside Australian native flora. These have already proven extremely popular at recent events and are perfect for school activities, workshops, and community stalls.

Badges and Stickers:
Three delightful badge designs showcase some of our favourite bee stingless bees, peacock carpenter bees, and blue banded bees. While they can be used as traditional button badges, the Hunter Branch has also adapted the artwork into stickers with great success.

ANBA Stamp:
Featuring Tetragonula carbonaria, the new ANBA stamp was a hit with children at this year’s Living Smart Festival. The Hunter Branch has also used a modified version of this design to create printed tote bags. Available to All Branches.

Organised and supplied by the Hunter Branch & Gina Cranson

ANBA Educational Posters
The ANBA has developed a set of 10 posters to use at field days, information stands, events, etc. These can be printed in various forms. They were designed for A3 posters. ANBA Branches can contact us for high resolution pdf format files suitable for printing,
