Brisbane beekeeper creates editable map to track African tulip trees killing native stingless bees

A Brisbane beekeeper has created a map for the public to locate African tulip trees in a bid to weed out the plant, which kills native bees.

The tree is native to tropical Africa but was once planted as a street tree and garden tree, and while regarded for its red flowers, it is a serious weed which is toxic to native stingless bees and crowds out native vegetation.
