All About Bees & Wasps in Adelaide

There are a variety of bees & wasps in Adelaide, all of which are particularly active during the warmer summer months. When bees and wasps infest homes, they can become territorial and attack in swarms.

Adelaide is brimming with a variety of native and introduced bee and wasp species - from bushlands to backyards to the walls or roof of your home. They are particularly active during the warmer summer months, working longer daylight hours to prepare for winter or settle into their new hives. It’s important to recognise the early signs of a bee and wasp infestation in your home. These insects become very territorial, aggressive and attack in swarms when they feel threatened. While bee and wasp stings are relatively harmless, they account for more than twice the number of hospital admissions than snake bites and cause almost the same number of deaths. Read on to find out more about bee and wasp infestations, when to call a pest control company, and how to treat a bee and wasp sting. We also cover bee and wasp stings in our following first aid courses: We run these courses in Adelaide and in an additional four locations across South Australia.

About Our Educational Videos

Why Australia Wide First Aid creates and shares first aid education content

Why does Australia Wide First Aid create educational videos?

We create educational videos to make first aid knowledge accessible to everyone. Our videos help learners prepare for courses, refresh their skills, and understand important first aid concepts at their own pace, anywhere and anytime.

Are these videos a replacement for practical first aid training?

No, our videos complement hands-on training but don't replace it. First aid certification requires practical skills assessment. Our videos help you understand theory and techniques, but you'll need to attend a practical course to receive nationally recognised certification.

How do educational videos improve first aid learning?

Videos provide visual demonstrations of techniques, allowing learners to see proper form and procedures. You can pause, rewind, and rewatch complex techniques as many times as needed, making it easier to understand and retain critical first aid skills.

Can I share Australia Wide First Aid videos with others?

Absolutely! We encourage sharing our educational content. The more people who understand first aid basics, the safer our communities become. Share our videos with friends, family, colleagues, or anyone interested in learning life-saving skills. For brand guidelines and usage information, visit our brand kit.

Do I need to watch videos before attending a first aid course?

While not mandatory, watching our videos beforehand can enhance your learning experience. Familiarising yourself with concepts and terminology helps you get more from the practical training session and feel more confident during hands-on practice.

How often should I review first aid videos?

We recommend reviewing first aid videos regularly, especially if you haven't used your skills recently. Quarterly reviews help keep techniques fresh in your mind. Remember, first aid certifications require renewal every 1-3 years depending on the course.

Are the techniques shown in videos current and evidence-based?

Yes, all our videos follow current Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and nationally recognised training standards. We update our content regularly to reflect the latest evidence-based practices in emergency first aid and CPR techniques.

Can videos help me maintain my first aid certification?

While videos are excellent for knowledge retention between renewals, they cannot replace formal recertification. However, regular viewing helps you stay current with techniques and builds confidence to act effectively in emergencies until your next certification course.
