April to July is the main season for bee swarms to be spotted across Norfolk and Suffolk.
The last couple of years have seen honey bee swarms make the news headlines with swarms effecting football matches, shopping centres and London streets.
A bee swarm is a natural process of expansion with bees leaving an established nests or hive to set up a new home elsewhere. A swarm of honey bees can vary in size from a couple of thousand up to a mass twenty or thirty thousand strong. It can be a frightning sight, but in most cases the bees are not aggressive and if left alone will move on.
Honey bee swarms can be relocated and useful information can be found on the British Beekeepers Association website.
It can become more complicated if bees swarm close to your home or try and take up residence, and if relocation is not possible then bee control treatment may be the only option.
Bees are not a protected species - any type of UK Bee can be treated and we have extensive experience of treating Bees nests and swarms across Norfolk and Suffolk where other forms of control are not possible.
