Qualified beekeeper & DECA holder
Contact Rio 0220 570 337
Any area in Nelson/Richmond/Stoke/ Tasman Bay areas.
Happy too collect & remove swarms which would be placed in a beehive.
If you have a bee swarm in your backyard or local area please do not try and kill or interfere with the bees— you are likely to anger the bees and get stung.
The bees will not harm you if they are left alone!
Remember bees play an important & significant role in nature one being pollination.
Bees swarm when they feel overcrowded. It is a natural occurrence.
SAVE THIS AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU COME ACROSS A SWARM. THANKS

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
