Bee Rescue Services
|
Bees are crucial animals of any ecosystem – in fact, they are the greatest pollinators on our planet. A single colony can pollinate up to 3,000,000 flowers a day. They help fruit 30% of what we eat: watermelons, pears, apples, cabbages, mangoes, and many more. Without them, our dinner plates would be less colourful and nutritious. And our bowls will be filled with much less --and more expensive-- food.
Despite their crucial keystone services, most people instinctively fear bees –- run away if they get buzzed in the open, or call an exterminator if they find a nest at home. It's too easy for pest control. 5 minutes and they're done - gassed a colony of 20,000 bees to death. We spend much longer to do the job. We remove them alive, relocating them to our apiaries in Siglap or Thomson. Since August 2020, we have saved over 100 hives from certain death. We work hard to give them an attractive new home and a second lease of life. At The Sundowner, every bee nest / hive is a rescue. Then we teach our RFE participants the importance of bees, and show them how bees are the heroines of the garden -- and the earth. |

Pricing
Bees are not pests, and should not be treated as such. Pest control can charge as low $100 per job, as they kill the bees quickly and cruelly. Some of our rescue jobs take up to 5 hours, in order to save as many bees as we can and carefully relocate them. Our prices depend on technical difficulty and how long we spend on the job. As per industry standard, deployment of boom / scissor lift, and repair of broken tiles or cut ceiling boards will be paid for by the client separately.
