A handful of Novocastrians today faced a swarm of bee’s that would send many scrambling.
But these bees are friendly to humans, to the environment, and to our honey pots – and are bound for urban homes.

“For more information about keeping bees head to our website”
Ok I have done that so where is the information about keeping bees as referred to in your news article????
We live in Sedgefield on 6 ac and have 2 horses, dogs , birds .
How do we go about have the bee’s here .
We would love for both Newcastle and Lake Macquarie councils to follow Kuringai Councils lead. They place native bees hives into interested residents homes and are now selling the hives as well. We will certainly put hands up, we are busy planting our Wangi backyard with bee friendly plants.
Where do I get more information and boxes to start. I am interested in starting some hives in the Barnsley area.
Would love a native beehive in our back yard,how do we do it.
Was after more info and as suggested in the clip, came to the website, no more info here. Who can I contact with regard to getting a hive or two?
Would love a hive in our native garden at Coal Point

Hi
Google brought this article to my attention just because I’m into bees. I hate to be a grammar nazi but I couldn’t help but notice that throughout this article an apostrophe is inserted into the plural of bees. “Bee’s” would of course only be correct if one bee’s ownership of something was being discussed, otherwise the plural is “bees.” Thanks for bringing attention to the native bees though, and I noticed you took the time to leave helpful comments to all the previous commenters, I’m impressed. (-:
The bee expert’s name is Tim (not Jim) Heard. Also, there is no need for the apostrophe in “bees”.
Thank you Georgia
