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
