Honey Bee
Honey bees are the species kept by bee keepers.
If you have a problem with honey bees, contact a local bee keeper or Environmental Health Department, as they’ll be able to
arrange for the swarm to be relocated.
Life Cycle
- They live in hollow trees or in chimneys, wall cavities and roof spaces.
- They are similar in size to wasps, but are furrier and mostly black in colour.
- Honey bees convert nectar into honey and beeswax.
- A honey bee swarm will arrive in flight and cluster on a tree branch.
- A colony can often number more than 30,000 individual honey bees.
- Honey bee population is under threat from Varroa mite.
