Swarm Collection during Covid-19 24 March 2020 BBKA Chair Anne Rowberry says: "The swarm collection service will still be in operation during the pandemic. Swarm collection can go ahead but you must take into account social distancing. Risk assess the situation and do not take unnecessary risks as health services will be under pressure due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. As always, only collect when it is safe to do so. We are working with DEFRA." You can find info on swarms and our map of collectors here. Help us to help bees, please donate -ends- Manage Cookie Preferences
