Fewer subjects spark heated conversations in pest management than feral bee control and management. Nobody wants to hurt valuable pollinators, and bee relocation can be complex.

Our panel of experts will BEE on hand to help explain feral bee control and discuss everything from educating clients to relocating viable swarms and the ethical considerations of treatment.
Where: Online via Zoom
When: 12.30, 7 May 2025
Who: Member-only event 🔒
Tickets: Free (limited spaces)
BPCA Registered CPD Points: 1
Basis Prompt points: TBC
In this debate session, we’ll ask the panellists:
- How do we balance public health against harming beneficial pollinators?
- Can all feral honey bees be relocated and should every pest control company learn bee relocation?
- How do we avoid being incorrectly called out to treat what the client thinks are wasps?
You can also ask your own questions directly to the panel and join the debate remotely via Zoom.
