How You Can Help
Because every action can make a difference

Inform & Educate
One great way of helping the bees is to inform and educate your family and friends. It's important to spread the word of the incredibly important role that bees perform for the environment.
​
Bees are also not naturally aggressive. If and when bees move into our living space, extermination is NOT the only option.
​
Bee relocation by The Sundowner provides them with the chance to carry on their crucial role in pollinating our plants, and other functions.
Spotting
If and when you spot a bee nest:
​
1. Not a living space or close to any human activity?
Just leave them be to continue their good work!
​
2. Close to a living space or dense human activity?
a. If this is a space you own, do not panic! The bees have probably been there for some time and were peaceful all this while. Take photos from 1-2m away; close-ups + wide shots so we can see the access. Then text us at 96177164 for our quotation.
​​
b. If this space is managed by a Town Council or Condo MCST, your quick action is needed as others may first report and insist they get exterminated. If you can, encourage them delay the decision to exterminate, and to contact us to quote for relocation.
​
We also retail haBEEtat Boxes that property owners can place in their premises to bait bees to move into-- rather than in hard-to-reach places like roof cavities, which is expensive to access and relocate.

Volunteer
We depend on a pool of part-time volunteers to carry out our Bee Rescues. If you are interested to do your part and help out in such activities, please contact us.
​​
Volunteers need not have any experience. You will be provided with proper training and equipment. If found suitable, you will be added to the pool, and paid a stipend for their time and effort for every Bee Rescue.
The Apiary Program
Own a Bee Hive at home!
Our rescued colonies were initially all housed in our Siglap apiary, which got overcrowded too quickly! We soon realised that it created excessive competition between colonies, and the pollination radius was limited to a small zone.
​​​
With our Apiary Program, strong and stable hives are selected and moved to your site. This provides them a safe environment to grow in, you'll love your garden / surrounding plants come to life with bees buzzing about -- as nature intended!
​​
If you own your own garden and would like to adopt a bee hive or two, let us know! (Adoption fee of $450 covers the installation of a healthy hive of bees, and starter feeds).
