Anne Dollin and her husband, Les Dollin, have been studying Australian native bees since 1979. They are the co-founders of the Australian Native Bee Research Centre, which hosts the Aussie Bee website.
In earlier years, Les and Anne Dollin specialised in research on the Australian species of stingless bees, Trigona and Austroplebeia. They traveled to remote parts of Cape York, Arnhem Land, the Kimberleys and Central Australia in search of little known stingless bee species described in the 1800s and early 1900s. In more recent years they have focused on promoting the use of Australian native bees species for agricultural purposes. Their research and publications have supported the development of the infant stingless bee industry in Australia for honey production and crop pollination. They also contributed to research at the University of Western Sydney on the use of blue banded bees for greenhouse tomato pollination
The Australian Native Bee Research Centre has published a field guide, Native Bees of the Sydney Region, and a series of information booklets on keeping Australian stingless bees.
Anne and Les Dollin published Aussie Bee Bulletin for five years, a printed magazine covering many Australian native bee species, research results on native bees, and beekeeping methods. Back issues of this informative magazine are still available.
Other articles on native bees are regularly added to Aussie Bee Online, a free information resource on native bees on the Aussie Bee website.
For information on native bee seminars, workshops, new articles and other breaking native bee news, subscribe to Aussie Bee Email Update. This free email newsletter is sent out about three times a year.
Anne Dollin has a PhD from the University of Sydney and worked for many years for the CSIRO.
