I'm a Bee Keeper
Swarm Collection
Sue's Story 1
Called to a Neighbours house to look at the "Swarm".
The Bees were in a neighbours garage roof. Turned out to be Buff-tailed Bumblebee - Bombus terrestris nesting in the garage.
Across the road neighbour said they had Bees as well. Red-tailed Bumblebee
Bombus lapidarius.
If you have a swarm in the UK please contact me,
I will come and help if I can or put you in touch with someone closer to you who can.

Well the bees are out and about it is officially Spring, and on a good day there will be Swarms. Swarming is a natural way for bees to reproduce. Swarms are Generally Docile - if you see a Swarm they are looking for a new home - I provide homes for Bees.
If you see a Swarm please contact me. I'm a registered Bee Keeper with BBKA. Please don't try to catch the Swam yourself, if you are anaphylactic, certainly not a good idea to go near the bees.
Swarms can be a swirl of bees in the air that then settles on one place. They will then start looking for a home which needs to be the correct volume, secure, dry, ventilated, defendable.
I have all the equipment and protective ware to come and secure the bees safely. They will be given a new home.
