The Adelaide based ecologist and native bee expert is known for his beautiful portrait images of bees and other insects. James is the author of the book “Bees of Australia” and just recently, after 100 years in hiding, he rediscovered the rare cloaked bee.

On this episode he talks about the relevance of his images, how he came across a species that was believed to be long lost and how we can help bees to thrive in our own backyards.

This Episode of Talking Australia is hosted by Angela Heathcote (Digital Producer at Australian Geographic) and produced by Ben Kanthak (www.beachshackpodcasts.com).
