Your Australian Native Bee Association Inc. (ANBA) Is building a dynamic member based organisation dedicated to protecting all native bees (not only stingless bees), protecting our members and providing great learning resources and social experiences. We are working with many to build a national network.
Join the Australian Native Bee Association
We invite amateurs with an interest in native bees and professionals in the industry to join our national association. Benefits include:
- Networking opportunities and a contact hub to connect people with native bees together to share experiences and information on bee diversity, people, climates, habitats, techniques and ideas,
- Public Liability Insurance for meetings and field days,
- A high quality and informative Newsletter: “The Cross Pollinator”,
- Discounts on workshops,
- A discount to the annual Australian Native Bee Conference.
Fees payable by credit card or bank transfer. We follow a July to June year, if you join part-way through this period, we automatically reduce the membership fee prorata. For example, if you join in December you will pay only 7/12 of the fee.
