Our Story
We all share a common issue: no bees = no life. Save the Bees Australia aims to empower others to create change in their world. Bees and humanity face a major challenge from insecticides, herbicides, industrial-scale monoculture food farming and habitat fragmentation. Together we can tackle these issues and Save the Bees.
What we Do
Save the Bees Australia’s aim is to unite like-minded people and raise awareness of the importance of bees and the plight that bees face. We are passionate advocates and educators who work with the community to change policy and personal action to support bee populations. Save the Bees Australia evolved from saving and rehousing problematic bee infestations to a social enterprise advocating for organic farming, nutrition, pollution, environment, education, wisdom, permaculture and love.

Report a bee swarm
Do you have a swarm of bees that are bothering you? Swarm Patrol puts you in contact with beekeepers who will house and relocate the colony.
Bees are at their most vulnerable and friendly when they swarm. Every bee in the hive knows the status of the hive’s health, production, and coherence. When the hive has ample honey and favourable weather conditions the colony will split to reproduce. Swarming involves the oldest and wisest bees leaving their established location to scout out a new location.

Happy Mother’s Day. The #queen bee really does know what hard work is. In her life of six to nine years she produces about one egg each minute. That works out to laying her own body weight in eggs each day. There is one queen who is the only fertile female in the hive. She is the only bee with ovaries. Second, there are about 60,000 sterile female #workers, that do not have ovaries. From birth to about day three, they clean the hive. By the fifth day of their life, they become nursing bees because certain glands have matured inside their mouths. By day 12, their wax-making glands are functioning, so they set to making structures in the nest and storing nectar and honey. Around the 19th day of their life they begin guarding the nest with their sting. By day 21, they are halfway through their short lives and have begun to leave the nest to forage for nectar and #pollen. And then around day 42 they usually die. #Drones make up the third gender. They don’t have a stinger, and they can’t collect nectar. They are fertile and can make sperm. The queen will mate once in her life with dozens of these drones who die after copulation. ![]()
