Responsible Feral Colony Stewardship for Property Owners
ApiSentinel provides a clear, structured pathway for responsible site stewardship, supporting your ESG commitments while helping you understand, monitor, and manage feral honey bee activity with a calm, professional approach.
Designed for estates, facilities teams, and property managers seeking a responsible, well‑governed approach to feral honey bee management.
Feral honey bee activity is rarely a one‑off event
Colonies Establish in Buildings
Activity returns season after season
Reactive callouts can become a recurring cost.
Without a structured approach, recurring activity can create ongoing demands on your property.
What ApiSentinel Is..
ApiSentinel™️ is a monitoring and protection plan designed to help manage feral honey bee activity in & around your property in a responsible, structured, and professional way.
The system is built around 3 core principles:
Prevention
Preventing bee‑related issues early through structured site evaluation and targeted proofing measures.
Interception
Strategic placement of ApiSentinel Settlement Stations to reduce the risk of feral honey bees establishing within your building.
Response
Timely attendance when activity is detected, supporting safety and continuity with minimal disruption.
How It Works
A clear, stewardship‑focused approach to understanding and managing feral honey bee activity across your property.
Survey & Evaluate
A structured assessment of your site to understand building layout, seasonal pressures, and the factors that influence feral honey bee colony settlement, forming the foundation of your ApiSentinel plan.
Prevent
Early‑season measures designed to reduce the likelihood of feral honey bee colonies establishing within your building, ensuring risks are managed consistently and in line with ApiSentinel protocols.
Install
Strategic placement of ApiSentinel Settlement Stations in selected locations to support early detection and reduce the likelihood of colonies establishing within your building.
Detect
Routine monitoring of ApiSentinel Settlement Stations and surrounding areas, supported by integrated remote monitoring, provides structured visibility of seasonal activity and enables early, informed decision‑making.
Report
A clear reporting pathway is provided for feral honey bee activity noticed on site, ensuring concerns are reviewed in a calm, consistent manner and in accordance with ApiSentinel’s structured protocols.
Resolve / Relocate
When a feral colony settles within an ApiSentinel Settlement Station, remote monitoring alerts your ApiSentinel operative, who will ensure the colony is relocated to a suitable environment. If a colony instead settles within your property, removal and relocation are included as part of your ApiSentinel protection plan and carried out safely and in accordance with the ApiSentinel Pathway.
The ApiSentinel protection plan delivers season‑long assurance through proactive settlement measures and a consistent, standards‑aligned response to any feral honey bee activity that occurs.
