BEE SWARMS season
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
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! ♻️
