Contact 0220 570 337

Any area in & around 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

For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.

To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a women’s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.

Let us know how you’re spreading the ‘It’s Not OK’ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
