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.

Healing Weeds
When the earth is scarred due to clearing of land or use of herbicide certain weeds are the first to appear. Nature programs these plants to heal the soil. They provide coverage bring nutrients to the surface protect the earth from the sun and they are capable of growing without fertiliser. These healing plants we often call weeds are very common and have spread worldwide . These weeds are our friends. First to move in are dandelions, thistles oxalis and fennel. These plants are not only healing to the earth and ourselves but bees always utilise there benefits. Our war on weeds have to end. We need to utilise these weeds to heal ourselves and the Earth.

@chelandhands from @stickytipsbees
“I thought you would be happy to hear the Save The Bees - "No Spray Signs" are working! The company that cares for the powerlines came and discussed options for clearing of plants for the lines near home. They have agreed to cutting some vines rather than spraying, pulling flowering plants out before spraying of the verge and covering native plants with plastic near where they are spraying so it doesn't drift onto them. We even had a discussion about the security of Native Bees colonies I am aware of. It's not a perfect solution but it has made them think and it was the sign that started the conversation”
