Swarms & Unwanted Honey Bees

Honey bees swarm as a method of increasing the number of colonies. The queen of an existing colony leaves the colony with a high proportion of the bees in that colony. Scout bees will look for a suitable new home, and then the swarm will arrive and move in. Small holes into voids of about 40 litres or so are preferred. There are many of these available locally, in old buildings, chimneys, trees etc etc.

If you are looking for someone to come and take away a swarm of bees or remove unwanted bees from a property, some of our members are prepared to help. It is likely that Beekeepers will make a charge to visit, typically £30, but this will vary depending on the location and other factors. See the map below:
