Commercial bee removing course
The commercial bee removal training consists of two days and an evening to discover how bees work, how to remove bees safely, and generate new income as a side income or for your full-time business!
As an existing pest control operator, you can increase your profit and benefit the environment by safely relocating bees rather than terminating them. You can sell the saved bee colony to our network of beekeepers eager to get more bee colonies for their pollination services. You could also start keeping bees yourself to make honey.
Time: 08:30 am
