BEE SWARMS?? Do you have one or want one??

Spring and Summer will bring the bees out and about and as a result, this is the time of year we see most swarms.
​The bees are simply looking for a new home and aren't on a 'KILL and DESTROY' mission, as is the common myth. Bee swarms are generally quite placid with their tummies full of honey in preparation for a long journey. So please don't take a kill & destroy approach to dealing with a swarm

Swarms are potentially the start of a new beehive and as such are sought after by many beekeepers.

Please call our 'Swarm Coordinator' Julian, to work out the best course of action to hopefully collect and re-house the bees. Julian Walker ... 0413 252 128
