Beekeeping Perth

Beekeeping

Beekeeping is very rewarding, not only are the bees great for your gardens, fruit, flowers and vegies, but the reward of honey is certainly sweet. 

First, there is preparing the wood.  You have to make the bee boxes that you want to keep the bees in.  You need to treat the wood as it will be a high moisture content, but not with anything that will harm bees. 

Danny Bee Good Bee Farm offer the ability to purchase or hire our beehives! 

Beekeeper

Being a Beekeeper in Perth comes with great responsibility, it is very important that you familiarise yourself with disease management process, such as quarantine and safe handling practices. Reach out to the team at the Danny Bee Good Bee Farm and head to waas.org.au.

Apiarist

The technical term for a beekeeper is an Apiarist. Our founder, Danny comes from a family of Apiarist’s and is a member of WAAS  waas.org.au.

Danny has been beekeeping all his life and takes great pride in the preservation of various bee species. Bees can unfortunately make other bee colonies sick and Danny is very passionate about ensuring this does not happen. 

Bee Facts 

What should you do if you find Bees?

• Do NOT panic. The majority of the time when bees swarm, they have filled themselves up with honey prior to taking flight. They are full, placid and just hanging out looking for a new home. 
• Just walk away slowly.
• Phone us straight away

Bees are on the decline around the world. There are many reasons for this, but one is due to disease. 

• Save the Bees. 
• If bees die out, so do we. 
• We need bees to pollinate our food. 
• They play perhaps one of the most important roles in our survival. Look after bees and they will look after us.

The challenge that Perth faces, is the overwhelming new interest in beekeeping. 

This is great. As fellow beekeepers, we are excited about this development. We are equally horrified by it, (some estimate 500% increase in the last 3 years), this also puts a strain on the industry as the likelihood of disease is far more likely to spread. 

Without proper knowledge about keeping bees and identifying disease, we know that disease is going to become a lot more common in Western Australia. 

It’s important to have your bees collected by professionals who understand bio-security measures and can recognise disease and feral bees straight away.

I was very sceptical of all the 5 star reviews initially but when we found 4 white tip spiders in our house within 1-2 months I was willing to give them a go to protect my young family. After they applied the full treatment we certainly didn't see any white tips and we may have seen 1 or 2 spiders outside in total in the following months. The treatment also fixed an ant problem that had been plaguing our patio area which was also great. Will definitely use again!

I love this company. We have seen results already. In my old apartment in Midland, we had three different pest control companies come out on several occasions, and we have not seen these results. Isaiah was awesome. Communication is great. I highly recommend them.

Filip from Swat a Pest was excellent to deal with. The quotation for the termite barrier was competitive and clearly explained. The team was  punctual, kept me informed, tidy and professional. Highly recommend for termite inspections and treatments.

If you need pest control, call Swatapest. Isaiaha is not only the nicest person to deal with, he is also very knowledgeable and thorough. I highly recommend Swatapest and will definitely be calling them in the future if needed.
