Helping Bees

Hi All
Just thought I would mention there is a shortage of bees this year again a lot of hives did not make it through the winter. We can all help by not spraying insecticide when plants are in blossom as this is often when the bees will be affected.

I keep bees and have 2 honey bee hives and have 2 swarms of bumble bees that I have collected and moved (I work in pest control also) we don't treat bees unless there is no other option. I feel quite good about moving the bumble bees as the easy option is to just spray them. In recent years they haven't resettled well but this year looks more hopeful.

Sorry if you have read this in another thread but I feel it is important that we all do our bit to help nature and the bees.
If you need any further advice about bees or wasps you cam message me

Cheers
Dave
