About Marcus Collings

Having spent 25 years in the Army, more latterly as a qualified teacher, my retirement has allowed me to turn my hobby and passion into my new profession. Transforming my country garden, Lakeside Bee Services now supports bee keeping, and in turn preserve bee populations as a real force for good. The discipline from many years of service is evidenced in my work extracting bees, which is carefully planned and executed. Lakeside Bee Services offers a range of products and services to support the preservation of bee populations. Our live bee removal services are designed to safely remove bees from unwelcome locations and bring them back to our country garden apiary, where the colony can thrive. We are have completed both Basic and Advanced bee removal courses, ensuring that we can provide the best service for you and the bees. As part of all good ESG strategies is the sustainable removal of pests from properties, and Lakeside Bee Services undertakes domestic and commercial work, and retains an outstanding 100% 5 star Google Review record for our high quality work, excellent value sustainble work. As well as being the Member Secretary of the New Forest & District Bee Keeping Association, I was also a Trustee of the Hampshire Beekeepers Association(2021-24). I'm delighted that the honey and wax products produced by my hives are recognised by the New Forest Marque.
