Life in a colony.
Workers gather food, tend young bees and maintain the nest. A colony also has a queen and, seasonally, drones.
Scent and movement help bees communicate. A waggle dance points foragers towards food.
ABOUT BEES / SOUTH AUSTRALIA
A little about bees.
From swarming to pollination — the bees behind our South Australia relocation service.
Why bees swarm.
Swarming creates a new colony. A queen leaves with some of the bees; the rest stay in the original nest.
The swarm may cluster while scouts find a new home. An established hive contains comb, often with young bees and stored food.
More than honey.
Bees transfer pollen between flowers, helping many plants produce seeds and fruit.
Australia’s native bees are part of this pollinator community, alongside honeybees.
Collection and relocation.
BeeQuick collects swarms and hives across South Australia, giving the bees a new home.
