Mmm yum yum! The Latest batch or our new infusion range of Honey and Chilli and Honey, Chilli and Garlic mix. Each with 4 different strengths. Ranging from, for the faint of heart (👆 that's me) “Mild”1.0 to the two strengths, (mild 1.5 and hot 2.5) to the more serious kamikarzi chilli lover of “very flipping hot”3.5 (😤 not me) it has to be tried to be believed!
We will be sampling and have stocks at next Saturdays market and open day respectively (see the flyers attached, Benoni and Bedfordview).🔥🔥

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385528/ a couple of years old but big Pharma seldom enjoys news like this. A nice summary of already published research.

This evenings removal in Etwatwa. These girls where about to become a serious problem. Already burning a short fuse, with lots of brood about to hatch, well actually in all stages or development (great to see!) they where really upset with us, even before we removed the side of Their home….. From the customers photo I decided on an on site cutout. When we arrived I had wished I had taken shade net to wrap it and uplift in one piece…. I have a course this weekend and it could have been a great example removal for the students.
As soon as we touched them I was relieved I stuck to the on site route…. Not the temperament of bees My newbies would appreciate on the weekend 🫣😂

After removing a section of the bin side, we needed to take more….. To expose the comb. The bin had obviously been burnt before so was a scrap item… maybe the fact they had been burned at some stage made them so upset….

We often get called out to complete a diy removal. 🫣🤯…. Often the bees have had enough of human interference, so try nailing us to the wall immediately. Fortunately all precautions where taken just in case…. Safety of the bees and locals is important…

On leaving Etwatwa, we noticed vast areas of new suburbs with power poles and bright street lights abaze, but not a single property, let alone traffic or people. We left the highway at snake road and not a single street light working but loads of traffic.🫣🫣

Pete’s bees are not actually !

Fascinated by Bees for years, finally followed in the sons foot steps.... I rescue bees from unwanted places (bee Removals), then encourage them to continue with their critical pollination services from their new location. If they produce surplus honey and other useful stuff even better.
