Help native bee expert Dr Kit Prendergast gather information about the various predators and parasitoids of Australian native bees and European honey bees in Australia.
Please fill out this form with information on observations you've made (and if possible, accompanied by a photo) of an animal predating or parasitising an Australian native bee or the introduced European honey bee.
