In the southern hemisphere it is full bee season! Colonies are trekking, splitting and relocating... Hives are collecting nectar and pollen to grow and store excess. Pollinating and helping to generate food security for the entire ecosystem! We love and honour bees everywhere!
Catch boxes, swarm lure and lemongrass essential oil are staple beekeeper kit during this time for luring trekking swarms into new hive homes!
We've created an Online Beginner's Masterclass specifically for newbee beekeepers just starting out that want to access videos on South African bees on exactly how to...
"Set up your apiary with catch boxes, where to put them, best practice"
"What lures and oils to use that bees think 'signal' a new home"
"What to do when the bees arrive, how to care in their first few weeks?"
"When do you get other bee tools?"
"How much do you budget for the bees and your hobby?"
