Bee Swarms

Walter from Point Chevalier

Hello neighbours,
In Spring and early summer bee colonies are starting to swarm. It is their natural way of reproduction. At this stage they can look menacing, but in reality are quite docile.
If you see a bee swarm in your garden or neighbourhood, please do not ring pest control, call me and I will come to collect them. I’m am a local beekeeper and used to work with bees. My promise is to find a good home amongst my beekeeper friends, not making a profit like lots of other sites are. Oh 022 198 5193
A big thank you in advance
Walter

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
