<p>This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Clancy Lester aka &quot;Bee Man&quot; - a nature lover and founder of Bees and Blossoms.</p><p>Through growing up on Yorta Yorta Country in regional Victoria, Clancy developed an early fascination with the natural world that later evolved into community-focused biodiversity education through social media and hands-on workshops.</p><p>His work empowers young people and communities to engage with local biodiversity, and learn about indigenous knowledge, especially through watching his &#39;7Seasons&#39; documentary.</p><p>You can follow Clancy and find out more about his work here:</p><ul><li>Clancy&#39;s website: <a href="https://beesandblossoms.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://beesandblossoms.org/</a></li><li>Clancy&#39;s bee hotel website: <a href="https://nativebeehotels.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://nativebeehotels.com/</a></li><li>Clancy&#39;s pursuit article: <a href="https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/fighting-to-save-our-aussie-bees-one-bee-hotel-at-a-time" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/fighting-to-save-our-aussie-bees-one-bee-hotel-at-a-time</a></li><li>Clancy&#39;s ABC news article: <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-09/bee-hunter-saving-native-species-one-hotel-at-a-time/104881770" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-09/bee-hunter-saving-native-species-one-hotel-at-a-time/104881770</a></li><li>Bees and Blossoms Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beesandblossoms.aus/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/beesandblossoms.aus/</a></li><li>Bees and Blossoms LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/beesandblossoms/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/company/beesandblossoms/</a></li><li>Clancy&#39;s LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-clancy-lester/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-clancy-lester/</a></li><li>7Seasons documentary Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/7seasonsdocumentary/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/7seasonsdocumentary/</a></li></ul><p>Transcript: <a href="https://go.unimelb.edu.au/wph2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://go.unimelb.edu.au/wph2</a></p>
