The Sustainable House project report, Supporting Native Bees in Darlington and Chippendale, launched on 11 November 2026 at Peace Park in Chippendale.

Councillor Yvonne Weldon spoke at the event, offering words of praise for the project and offering her support in Sydney City Council

***• The report is a collaboration between Sydney University Bee Lab and Sustainable House***

The report is here.

In addition to the project launch, the published report will be presented at Knox Street Bar on 5 December during their event “Rite of Spring Bee Party”. Learn how we have been studying the plant and tree preferences of native stingless bees and how you can get involved.

A citizen science project on iNaturalist titled “Chippendale Pollinator Observations” was published and will be promoted at the event to study the foraging behaviours of common pollinators (bees, butterflies, beetles, flies, moths, etc.) in the Chippendale area.
