If you have spotted a cluster of bees in your garden, or nearby, i'm happy to help.
Please get in touch as soon as possible as bees can move-on quickly. If you can whatsapp me a photo, and location details I will respond quickly.
A honey bee swarm is a natural way a colony reproduces. When a hive becomes over-crowded, the old queen leaves the colony with thousands of worker bees to try and find a new place to live.
The bees will gather temporarily on a tree, branch, fence or other structure while scout bees search for a suitable new nesting site.
Although a swarm can look dramatic, honey bees in this stage are usually calm and focused on protecting their queen.
If you see a honey bee swarm, stay calm and retreat to a safe distance.
Although a swarm can look alarming, the bees are usually very gentle as they are focused on finding a new home. Avoid disturbing the bees and give me a call as soon as possible.
