Honey Bees

Over the next few months new queens will take a proportion of a Honey Bee hive population to create new hives or inhabit existing empty hives. When this happens Honey Bee swarms will often rest in large masses en-route to a new hive. It is important that we all do our bit to help Honey Bees reach these destinations so that they can continue to pollenate and play their vital role in nature.

The British Bee Keepers Association www.bbka.org.uk have information about Feral Honey Bee Swarms, how to identify a swarm and a list of on duty Swarm Wardens who will come to collect the swarm if you see one or if a Swarm lands at your premises. It is always worth checking with a swarm warden before contacting a live extraction company as many will go to extraordinary lengths to salvage a Honey Bee Swarm.

If a swarm warden confirms that the bees cannot be collected, you may want to consider engaging a company specialising in live extraction. Companies such as www.beegone.co.uk offer this service and have useful information on their website.

Please be aware that Bees are protected and there are no pesticides approved for use against them, under no circumstances will we treat bees.
