Belle the Blue-banded Bee - Written and Illustrated by Shane %%Meyer
Shane Meyer%% was born in Adelaide and raised in country South Australia and had an interest in art at an early age. This expanded into an interest in native flora and fauna including native bees and butterflies, and he actively enjoys working on conservation projects. After starting his own family, he saw that he could also make a difference by writing and illustrating picture books with environmental messages.

Belle the Blue-banded Bee follows the perilous journey of a blue-banded bee in search of a new home. The book is suitable for children between the ages of 4 and 7 years old.

A& #65279 ;fter Shane Meyer's talk about his new book, you will be introduced to some of the original artwork of the book, and some of the different types of native bees we have living in Australia. Did you know there are around 200 different species of native bees in metropolitan Adelaide alone? That's just an amazing fact! There will also be bee-themed art and craft activities for you to enjoy, as well as native wildflower seeds to take and grow for the home.

This event will be held at Civic (Woodville) Library, 72 Woodville Road, Woodville, on Saturday, 3 June 2023, starting from 10.30 am to 11.30 am. Signed copies of Belle the Blue-banded Bee will be available for purchase from the author on the day (credit cards accepted).
