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.

@nsw_dpi have confirmed they need owners consent to poison ☠️ private property. ![]()
Do not consent and do not allow officers to bully you into it with hollow threats. If your property is affected by the helicopter dispersement of poison without your consent document it and please contact me. You can be financially compensated. Some people have had poison go into their water tanks and swimming pools. This chemical can cause birth defects and kill fish .![]()
If enough people withdraw their consent the program mathematically can’t work and they will have to cancel the program.![]()
