Lauren Kajewski, Save the Bees (September theme: What Matters to Me )

Australia has over 1,700 species of native bees and are important pollinators for our endemic flora, and agriculture. Clean air, clean water and a healthy environment is essential to supporting our native species, and ensuring a sustainable way of life for all Australians and our surroundings. So - before you cut down that tree, or use chemicals in the garden for weed control or fertiliser - consider our little pollinators and how you can help them out. This is what's important to me.
