World Bee Day is among us and hives across Australia are buzzing.

WA Apiarists Society president Stephen Boylen told Millsy at Midday host Steve Mills why he gets a real buzz out of bees.

"Just a fascinating insect, it was a chance to do something different," he told Millsy of why he started beekeeping four years ago.

"You do beekeeping the way it's been done for a couple of hundred years.

"There's nothing electronic, it's a simple bee suit, some very simple tools and for someone who's in an office in front of a computer all the time, it's just such a change, and so rewarding."
