Rehabilitation and Bee Conservation One Call Away!

Once the bees are safely removed, we make sure to place them in appropriate apiaries to ensure their safety. Our team provides proper nutrition, veterinary care, and safe housing for injured or weakened bees. Conservation efforts also focus on preserving bee habitats, reducing pesticide use, and raising awareness about the importance of bees in ecosystems. By protecting bee populations and promoting sustainable beekeeping practices, bees can be effectively rehabilitated and conserved for a thriving and healthy environment.

Our Beekeeping Goal:

  • To protect the bee’s environment.
  • Create a safe place for their development.
  • Nurturing and healing.
  • Improving their preproduction.

At Bee Rehabilitation & Conservation, our goal is to build a fully equipped beekeeping farm in which all the honeybees can have the necessary care they need. Creating a sanctuary designed to their needs. 

Honey Selling

Although we are not selling honey right now, we are planning to in the future! With the creation of a fully equipped beekeeping farm, we will work on the proper extraction of honey to be able to treat it and distribute it. The way this process is made is by

  • Harvesting the honeycomb

We first identify honey-rich frames within the hive and carefully remove them to prevent damaging the nest. 

  • Uncapping the honey

The beeswax seal covering the cells containing honey is removed using a hot knife or uncapping fork, exposing the honey for extraction. 

  • Extracting the honey

The uncapped frames are placed in a centrifuge extractor, which spins the frames to extract the honey through centrifugal force.

  • Filtering the honey

The extracted honey is then passed through a fine mesh or cheesecloth to filter out any remaining beeswax or impurities.

  • Storing the honey

The filtered honey is stored in clean, airtight containers or bottles for preservation and consumption.
