Swarms

If you have bees it is important to identify them correctly in order to determine who to approach for help. 

BBKA volunteer members are only able to help in cases of swarms of honey bees.

As well as honey bees there are around 24 species of bumblebee and over 240 species of solitary bee in the UK. 

To identify the type of bee you have go to the Beedentify website. 

If you’ve identified your bees as ‘honeybees’ use the post-code checker to find a local swarm collector near you.
