A correction for the above post.  Bumble bees were not imported into Australia several centuries ago.  Some turned up in Tasmania a few years back but there are none on the mainland.

Re the plight of Australian native pollinators.  We can give you research that shows that this is not correct.  All accounts to the contrary are opinion and not based on research.  Our research is refereed research.
