Bee Training for the JG Elite!
11 of the JG staff attended a day course in the biology and humane handling of honey bees with ‘Bees for Development .org’
At JG we do everything we can to remove bees without harming them and this training is part of what makes us so competent in doing so.
The course was a great success with everyone who attended very positive overall.
Senior Technician Will Timm’s commented,
“(I) Really enjoyed it. Very informative and very useful. We can make a difference where other pest control companies are failing. The trainer was very impressed that we want to help bees strive and not die, and that she wished other companies would follow our example.”
Also Senior Technician Paul Wilson commented,
“The day was really good, I have dealt with bees before but not in this way, it is a good move for the company”.
Field Executive Paul Gale summarised the day and everyone’s feelings towards the training as
“Extremely interesting for everyone, learning about the biology of bees and their conservation is going to help us grow as the “bee friendly” pest control company, thanks to Nicola and her team.” (Bees for Development)
