Swarms of bees May 10th 2008
If you need a Norwich beekeeper to pick up a swarm of bees
you can call me on 01603 440605.
WHAT TO DO WITH SWARMS OF BEES
- DON'T PANIC! -
If you have a swarm of bees in your garden you have been blessed by nature.
Bees when they are swarming are less likely to sting than at any other time,
but DON'T DISTURB THEM or interfere with them in any way, just keep an eye
on them and where they are so that your swarm of bees can be collected by a
bee keeper.
If you know who your local bee keeper is, call him/her and tell them where
your swarm is - most likely they will be happy to come and collect them.
If you can't find a local bee keeper but live in the Norwich area you can call
me 01603 440605 and I will come and take your swarm away for you and give them
a good home to live in.
I will collect swarms of bees in the Norwich area for a small fee
(starting at £30 for a call out to collect a swarm located outside
buildings) if they are not in the Norwich area there will be an additional
fee to cover the cost of petrol.

April 8th 2008 The year is warming up and so far I have had two calls for honey
bees in the wild.
One call was again concerning honey bees living in the walls
of an old property. Honey bees living in walls of old buildings is not unusual
and some old buildings have had their bees living in them for many years. Sometimes
they have to be removed and that is when I get a call.
Today though the call
was for bees living in an old walnut tree that was due for heavy pruning. As
we watched the bees flying in and out of the hole in the trunk and discussed
the various lines of action, wondering just how many entrances and exits
the bees have in that tree trunk, a bird popped it's head out of the hole above.
That gave the tree and the bees a stay of execution. Birds trump bees! I wait
to see if I will be invited back to help with that wild honey bee colony.
March 5th 2008 Luke has honey bees for sale in Essex -- if you
can pick up the bees you want to buy from Essex please email
me for
Luke's details.
Feb 28th I have been feeding my bees building them up ready for a busy spring.
I have had a lot of enquiries from both new and established beekeepers who
wish to buy bees. If you have honey bees for sale please email me.
The sun is shining and the bees are getting out and about early this year (Feb
9TH 2008)
