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.
Please do check that you are reporting a Honey Bee issue. BPCA have produced a useful guide ‘Things that go buzz’ which will help you understand key differences. This document can be found here:
The British Bee Keepers Association http://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. For Ashford and Folkestone Area Swarms you may wish to call Shepway Bees on 07702 094251 for advice.
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 Shepway Bees offer this service and have useful information on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/shepwayBees/
Please be aware that Bees are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, under no circumstances will we treat bees.
