I’m sad to report that Ron McGinley, co-author of this book and many other important works on bees, and a long time major contributor to The Bee Course has passed away.

A Chilalictus bee lethargically forages on a damp and moody day in western Victoria.

The flowers are an undescribed species of Prostanthera.

@Mikey_Whitehead @dfield007 @plant_ecology @InsideNatGeo It went very well but three weeks is not enough! Hopefully there will be a second part!

[The Buzz Bus @thebuzzbus]

That’s a wrap! The Buzz Bus Australia has come to an end. It was an amazing trip! Thanks @dfield007 and @plant_ecology for all the science and fun over the last three weeks. Thanks @InsideNatGeo for funding. Stay tuned for results!

A wonderful little #nativebee found on campus @EdithCowanUni Yes, we have native bees on campus! @thebuzzbus #pollinators #bees #edithcowanuniversity

@BeeBabette @plant_ecology @dfield007 They are stunning!

[The Buzz Bus @thebuzzbus]

We saw a platypus! The real one is slightly smaller than this sculpture but much harder to photograph! And we did find bees, including one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Read the latest blogpost of the Buzz Bus here: https://t.co/0VTONZ8Rgz

@dfield007 @BeeBabette @plant_ecology We found a few. But only at the very end of the trip!
