Comment on Where to buy a beehive in Perth? by jane

i have a swarm of bees sitting in my ‘pride of madiera’ plant right now.. they’re yours for $250 but HURRY.. this offer wont last long (they will fly off soon to find a new place to live).
The hive behind my back shed has so far sent off two new swarms this month. They are very good bees!
If you want to attract bees then all you need to do is put out a box suitable for them to live in and have a permanent water source – at this time of year the swarms set off to find a new home. I didnt have any bees here until i built a big pond for my goldfish. Not long after it was built and i filled it with water the bees arrived. I think if you make your property ‘bee friendly’ it wont be long before you have your very own colony.
My bees are very friendly, ive never been stung – they live near the back fence (that backs onto the bush) and i always think that if a burglar jumps over into my yard they will end up on top of the beehive, with disastrous results (for the burglar).
good luck

I think Northey Street City Farm in Brisbane has a water policy.
