Bee swarm
Spring brings out the bees looking for a new home. If you see a bee swarm and want help to safely deal with it call Charles on 021 964000. As an experienced hobby beekeeper with AFB and other training to look after bees, the bee swarm will be rehoused, checked and treated for any problems as they develop in their new environment so they will have the health and honey need to survive next winter.
