SUMMARY:NaturallyGC KIDS Native Stingless Bees
DESCRIPTION:Did you know there are over 1600 different types of bees in Australia! \nIn these workshops Dr Toby Smith will introduce us to the amazing world of Australian native bees. Some of our native bees live in large colonies of thousands\, living under the rule of single queen\, and making and storing honey. But the lonely bees make up the majority of bees in Australia: solitary female bees that live all by themselves\, and raise their offspring as single mums. \nToby will show us dozens of brilliant close up photos and diagrams of bees to help explain this great diversity\, bee lifecycles and their nests\, and their important role in pollination and food security. Throughout these workshops Toby encourages questions\, and all the way through the presentations are interactive with the group of children.  All explanations are simple\, easy to understand\, and delivered in a fun story telling fashion. Toby will also bring with him preserved bee specimens\, and live stingless bee hives with viewing windows. If we’re lucky we may even get a glimpse of a queen! \nSuitable for ages 5 and above. Please only register for the children attending. \nSupported by Division 2 Councillor William Owen-Jones \n

SUMMARY:Hot Composting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In support of International Composting Week Australia\, experienced Volunteers from the Edible Landscape Gardens Project in Nerang will be hosting a Hot Composting Workshop – Learn How to Make Compost in 18 days. \nDETAILS:\nCold composting\, although a great way to break down your own household waste and save landfill space\, can be a long process. It generally involves compiling your organic material in large heaps and leaving it there for several months until it breaks down. The process can be sped up by turning the compost and adding water to encourage oxygen and moisture\, but there is still a long wait. \nAnother approach is Hot Composting. This process producers compost in a much quicker time (just 18 days if done correctly)\, whilst killing off weed seeds and bacteria and breaking down the organic material into fine delicious compost ready for your garden. \nLimited spaces available and pre-bookings required. Workshop is via Gold Coin Donation.
