Qualified beekeeper & DECA holder
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
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️
Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.
We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
Is this something your household would actually participate in! ♻️
