Bee populations are decreasing globally at an alarming rate. With your help, we can protect our bees, our food security and our ecosystem health.
The Wheen Bee Foundation is an Australian registered not-for-profit charity that promotes awareness of the importance of bees for food security, and raises funds for research that addresses the national and global threats to bees.
We engage with all levels of government, the apiculture industry, bee reliant food industries, universities, research organisations and community. We fund vital strategic research, education and conservation initiatives that strengthen bees, improve pollination efficiency and increase food security and ecosystem health.
Helping our bee populations thrive is vital to the wellbeing and future of all Australians. Fortunately, there are a few simple things you can do to help.
Supporting Australian beekeepers helps the Australian beekeeping industry remain viable and build pollination security for our bee-reliant food industries.
Bees need more habitat and there are a wide variety of plants for all garden sizes that attract and nourish bees, from eucalyptus trees to tasty herbs and vegetables.
All donations to Wheen Bee Foundation help us address the national and global threats to bees by providing funding to much-needed research, education and conservation activities.

A new limited edition poster featuring some of Australia’s most remarkable native bees has been produced to bring attention to the diversity of Australia’s native bees
Habitat loss is one of the greatest threats to bees and other pollinators, with increasing urbanisation, along with severe bushfires and floods, reducing critical areas where bees forage and breed. Now a new tree grants program is helping reverse this loss, providing small community groups across Australia with the opportunity to make a big difference for bees.
Classrooms across Australia will be abuzz with bee learnings, thanks to a new online education hub dedicated to inspiring children to understand the vital role bees and other insects play in the environment and food production.
