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.

Learn how you can create a bee-friendly home and support bee-friendly practices.
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.

Greedy honey corporations and supermarkets like Woolworths are risking Australia’s future by allowing cheap and diseased honey from China and New Zealand to be sold at Australian supermarkets.![]()

Please avoid all imported honey including homebrand honeys and Cloverdale honey. Do not feed honey to birds or animals out in the open as that honey could be foraged by other honeybees and spread disease. ![]()

Now Australia has varroamite there is an opportunity and urgent need to stop Imported Honey so we avoid the Threat of Deformed Wing Virus.![]()
![]()
Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) poses a severe threat to honeybee populations worldwide, contributing to the decline of these pollinators. ![]()
![]()
DWV, primarily transmitted through Varroa mites, has been identified as a major factor in honeybee colony collapse. The virus weakens bees, causing deformities and impairing their ability to fly, gather food, and contribute to the hive. Varroa mites are notorious carriers of DWV, and their recent presence has facilitated the rapid spread of the virus. Beekeeping practices and the movement of honeybee products, including honey, can inadvertently contribute to the dissemination of DWV.![]()

At the moment our bees are coping well with Varroa but once viruses like deformed wing virus appears we will experience huge collapses. ![]()

Wild honeybee colonies in Newcastle , Kempsey and the Cental Coadt NSW are thriving despite having high varroamite counts . ![]()
![]()
Even in the previous redzones left to nature the wild colonies are so abundant they are throwing out healthy swarms. ![]()
![]()
Some beekeepers speculate our wild colonies are decedent from Russia and already have mite resistance. Others suggest we have a weak strain of varroa without the virus’s. ![]()
![]()
There is still not one documented hive loss of an Australian hive due to Varroa mite. ![]()
![]()
After over 100 million dollars killing bees the @nswdpi have conceded that varroa was here a lot longer and farther reaching than they let the public know but are yet to apologise for all the traumatic errors that saw billions of bees killed and much of nsw contaminated with fiprinol. ![]()

Australia is still at risk of importing viruses that accompany varroa like deformed wing virus. So we still need to be vigilant not to import viruses through the importation on queenbees or drone sperm. #savethebees
