Relocation: From Swarm trap to our Apiary
Once collected, the bee swarms are transferred from the traps into a larger commercial-size beehives and relocated to our beekeeper-managed apiary sites (AC8 Apiaries) within Western Australia. The Bee Saver personnel are beekeepers who work with local suppliers, apiarists, and honey wholesalers to support the local Western Australian economy. Our apiaries are managed using a minimum of protective gear and apiary equipment in a natural bush flora setting. In a mutually-sustaining environment, the bees do not need to swarm and they live chemical-free lives producing honey.
Depending on the beekeeping management practices, hives will produce about 200-300 kilos of honey per year. The busiest production period is from September until May. The swarming season occurs between late August until March. Our bees get to move around many of the Western Australian outback areas between Shark Bay and Esperance.
