IT’S NOT ABOUT THE HONEY, HONEY!

It’s about the BEES!!!
Honeybees are showing serious signs of distress from the beekeeping practices of the last century.
They are suffering from Colony Collapse Disorder, varroa mite infestation,
and other problems that they can no longer fend off successfully due to their abused immune systems.

But YOU can help!!!

BEEKEEPING SERVICE

Gold Star Honeybees operates a Beekeeping Service. We will place and maintain a healthy “top-bar”
hive on your property – totally maintenance-free to you -- and we
can watch as the bees make their comeback.

We don't move our bees around to pollinate - that is tough on bees!!!
They live on your property, and we do everything we can to make their lives stress- and chemical-free!

Together we can change the focus of beekeeping – from current,
non-sustainable methods to raising healthy, happy honeybees.

Call us for more details and for price and availability information.

SWARM REMOVAL

GOLD STAR HONEYBEES is willing to capture and relocate swarms of honeybees throughout the Mid-Coast Maine area. Please get in touch with us AS SOON AS you notice the swarm. It's very helpful to have your digital camera ready too - so we can get an idea of their location, and be able to positively identify them.
