Pollination Partnership Program

More Than a Hive - A Whole-Centre Journey

  • 🌿What It’s All About

    We’re turning token bee boxes into living, breathing classroom resources.

    By partnering with us, your centre becomes a Pollination Partner—joining a network of early learning spaces across Brisbane that champion biodiversity and outdoor education through the power of native bees.

    Our mission is simple:
    To embed stingless bees as central icons in the learning environment, where children and educators are empowered with knowledge and confidence to explore nature’s cycles, year-round.

  • 🐝 What’s Included in the Program?

    ✔️ 12-Month Hive Host Membership
    ✔️ Two Incursions (Included in the 12-Month Period)
    – Each incursion is designed for groups of up to 22 children
    ✔️ Hive Health Guarantee

    We come to your centre to install and maintain your hive, providing hands-on sessions that align with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG).

  • 💛 Designed for Educators

🌼 Spreading Pollination Power Across SEQ 🐝

Thanks to our growing network of native bee hives, over 160,000 stingless native bees are now at work across South East Queensland, creating living pollination hubs in playgrounds, gardens, and community spaces.

Each hive houses around 10,000 bees, and every bee visits up to 1,000 flowers per day. That means one hive can pollinate up to 10 million flowers daily—and across our network, that’s a staggering 160 million flower visits every single day.

Native bees may be small, but their impact is mighty. They typically forage within a 500-metre radius of their hive, meaning each installation supports pollination over nearly 80 hectares—the equivalent of more than 100 soccer fields. Multiply that by all the hives on the map, and you've got a powerful, buzzing force for local biodiversity.

These hives don't just support flowers—they spark conversations, curiosity, and care for the environment. With every wingbeat, our little pollinators are helping children learn, gardens bloom, and ecosystems thrive.

Let’s keep planting, learning, and buzzing forward—together. 🐝

Our Native Bee Hive Wrap

Teralba Park Honey are incredibly proud to introduce the artist behind our 2025 Spring Hive artwork - Hailah, an 11-year-old First Nations artist from Tamworth, NSW, whose powerful creativity has captured the spirit of the Native Bee in a way that is both deeply personal and profoundly meaningful. This one-of-a-kind piece tells the Story of the Native Bee through Hailah’s unique lens - blending culture, the environment, and imagination.

  • At the heart of the artwork is the Queen Bee deep inside the hive, surrounded by the stingless brood, cradled within the trunk of the tree - the home and heartbeat of the hive.

  • From here, branches rise - reaching out through the community, symbolising growth, connection, and interdependence.

  • You will find a sun beaming quietly from the corner, and hidden native animals tucked amongst the lines - a reminder to always look closely at Country.

  • Nestled amongst the bees you will find Native Australian flora like Bottlebrush and Gumtrees

  • Hailah even added her own handprint, forever placing herself in the story she tells.

  • Little footprints represents the children who uphold the responsibility of the Native Bees

A Word from the Artist

“My name is Hailah, my name means Halo around the Moon and it is often said when there is a halo around the moon it will be a crazy wild night. My mum says that suits me perfectly because I have always had trouble sleeping and even now I do all my art in the night-time.

I am 11 years old and was born on the 4 October 2013 in Tamworth, NSW. My mum was born in Maitland NSW and my Dad was born in Tennant Creek in the NT. I live on Gomeroi Country but my Aboriginal heritage is Wambaya tribe.

I have three little brothers, my mum and dad both come from big families so I have a lot of cousins, aunties and uncles. I have always loved art but feel connected to Aboriginal art and I love telling stories through pictures and paintings. I feel inspired by being on country, travelling, and listening to stories of creation and the dreamtime.

In my art I enjoy using bright colours and often I will mix it with soft pastel colours. It is contemporary Aboriginal art. I enjoy painting Native Australian animals, native plants and the story of the sky and the sea. I’m so proud of my culture and I am proud to continue sharing stories of the longest continuing culture in the world.”
— Hailah, Gomeroi Country
