Swarm Collection

Beekeepers are often approached about winged, flying creatures, especially in the spring and summer period, when they are their most active simply working and are no cause for alarm. We can only help if they are honeybees.
Find a local Swarm Collector

If the bees have been identified as honey bees you can enter your postcode to find our nearest volunteer swarm collectors.
Honeybee Swarms

Further information about honey bee swarms together with photos of beautiful honey bees in swarms. It is hoped this page will help members of the public recognise honey bee swarms and then use our swarm map to find a beekeeper to collect the honey bees!
