The Bee Man Saving Australia's Native Bees
Clancy, a passionate young ecologist known as "The Bee Man," is on a mission to save Australia's native bees. He builds bee "hotels" to provide shelter for these solitary pollinators, inspiring others to become their housekeepers.
He emphasizes the urgency of his mission, highlighting the devastating impact of European settlement on Australia's insect population. The decline in native bees, combined with other factors, is already disrupting ecosystems and traditional practices.
Clancy suggests transforming grassy nature strips around cities into pollinated gardens to boost insect biodiversity. He is excited about the prospect of engaging communities in native bee conservation, particularly in rural and regional areas.
"I would go anywhere in Australia," he says. "I want to inspire others to do cool stuff in science.

While saving bees is important, I think Clancy is oversimplifying a much larger issue.
