{ "name":"Talk on Australian Native Insect Pollinator", "description":"At the Corryong and District RSL Hall, Donaldson Street.Ticket avaliable at https://www.eventbookings.com/b/event/australian-native-pollinatorsWith the unwelcome introduction of the parasitic Varroa mite to our shores the future of the European bee population is uncertain. This places greater emphasis on our own native pollinators who have always worked quietly in the background and to whom most native flora have long adapted pre the introduction of the European honey bee. We hope these native “bugs” will now step up to counteract the negative effects of Varroa. Guest Speaker Karen Retra, native pollinator expert, and native bee tragic, is not a stranger to our district and has given a number of very informative talks on this subject in the past. Karen’s talk on Australian Native Pollinators – and Native bees in particular – and will be followed by tea or coffee and a light supper.", "startDate":"2024-04-16", "endDate":"2024-04-16", "startTime":"19:30", "endTime":"21:30", "label":"Save to Personal Calendar", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Outlook.com" ], "timeZone":"Australia/Melbourne", "trigger":"click", "inline":true, "listStyle":"modal", "iCalFileName":"Event - Upper Murray Community Calendar" }
