Good morning beekeepers

I have been notified of a decent sized swarm in Bega. It is located at The Oaks which is located on the corner of Tarraganda Lane and East Street. Let me know if you plan to pick it up and I can share the contact’s phone number.

It is located in a bottlebrush hedge. 🐝

The swarm has been removed. Thank you to the member that helped out on this one.

Hi members

There is a swarm at the Coast resort Fishpen in Merimbula. If you are interested head to reception and they can direct you to the site.

Good luck
