Hi, I’m Laszlo, founder of BeesFriend in Melbourne.

For the past 6 years, I’ve dedicated my work to rescuing and protecting honeybees — relocating swarms and hives that would otherwise be destroyed. Many of these rescues are shared on my YouTube and Instagram, showing how bees can be saved instead of exterminated.

These bees are not only essential to our ecosystem — they also produce pure, chemical-free honey and wax. To support their care, I offer small-batch products through my website, with all profits going back into bee welfare.

Right now, our European honeybees face a serious threat:

The Varroa Destructor mite.

This parasite weakens and ultimately destroys entire colonies, creating a major risk to pollination, food systems, and biodiversity.

---

To respond to this threat, I am raising $45,000 to establish chemical-free varroa treatment capability.

This includes purchasing four VC03 varroa controllers — specialised devices that use controlled thermal treatment to eliminate mites without chemicals.

This approach:

• Protects bee health

• Keeps honey and wax free from residues

• Supports sustainable, ethical beekeeping

---

Your support will help:

• Protect rescued bee colonies from varroa infestation

• Reduce reliance on chemical treatments

• Strengthen local pollination and food systems

• Support long-term, sustainable beekeeping in Melbourne

Every contribution — big or small — directly supports the protection of bees and the future of clean, chemical-free beekeeping.

Thank you for helping protect these vital pollinators
