If I say "bee", you immediately picture the yellow and black stripes of a honey bee (or maybe think of that time you were stung in primary school). But here in Australia, native bees are quite a different species. They're vital to the diversity of our local ecosystem and can benefit your backyard in spades!

Back in 2012, Tracy Lansdell started her journey into the world of native bees. And it's a passion that's grown far larger than she could've imagined. Take a listen to Tracy as she chats with Sab and Jamie about the importance of native bees and explains how you can attract them to your place with a bee hotel!

This week's episode is best enjoyed with a beer in hand, as Sab and Jamie delve into the world of hops with Karridale grower Trey Gee. Hops are pretty special little guys and they make beer amazing! Decades ago, they were grown widely across the WA. But that industry died out... until now!

Trey Gee was one of the first to bring hops back to the state at his Karridale hop farm. He explains to Sab and Jamie his passion for hops, finding them wild in the south-west and how the industry is growing. Cheers!

Scott is also the man behind two super popular plant Instagram pages, @tropicaloco & @boyswithplants - check them out for some top-grade inspo! Later on, Sab answers your questions too.
