Bzz... if you see this bee, fear not! 🐝 Stingless Bees (Tetragonula spp.) do not possess stings and are harmless to people.
These tiny bees are often no larger than a pinhead. Despite their small size, many of our native plants depend on them for pollination, and they are crucial to ensuring the health of our flora.

Bats have many important roles in our ecosystem, from pest control to plant pollination and seed dispersal.
One example is the native Lesser Short-nosed Fruit Bat (Cynopterus brachyotis) which helps to pollinate many of our favourite fruits, including the Durian! 🦇

Bringing a splash of colour to your week! 🌼 These clusters of yellow flowers belong to the Maiden's Jealousy (Tristellateia australasiae).
These free-flowering vines can be seen in rewilded areas, nature parks, streetscapes, and biodiversity-attracting gardens. Their blossoms are particularly appealing to bees and birds. Native to Singapore, they typically thrive in rainforests and inland areas of mangrove forests.
