Call a beekeeper!

Rhonwyn Newson Reporter from Rodney Times

We love this story about a beekeeper calmly removing a swarm of bees from an early learning centre in Red Beach.

How sad that swarms like these have been attacked with fly spray and set alight when there's such a simple solution.

The video is fascinating to watch.

It is finally getting off the ground , but seems to be asking for renewal fees after a 1 year free membership. I originally read about it in a Stuff article & 'joined' in Sept 17. It wasn't actually up & running then, but it wil be soon. It is a great idea to match up people with dogs who would like to 'share' them with those that don't/can't have a dog of their own. It seems to work well ? overseas? but I'm concerned that the yearly fee has been a bit 'hidden' so far. Any info would be appreciated. They also have a fb page, but posts are regulated by management. Thanks, Brenda
