peckhamasbestos Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 looking very sorry for themselves! No sure what the deal is, does a beekeeper come and pick them up? PM me for locations?

mynamehere Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 collected very very wet small "cast" swarm just before we lost the light. Hope they make it!

mynamehere Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 This just in! Swarm warm, fed and reviving. Future updates will cover: Does it have a Queen? Where will it find a permanent home? Watch this space and in the meantime, a great day out for any age is Stave Hill Ecological Parkhttps://plus.google.com/103956076801489229082/about?gl=uk&hl=enwhich is one possible home for these lucky bees. It might end up at Horniman, they've got a visible bee hive and an insect discovery room for little people.Using this thread as a platform for bees and such life: Please please please watch out in your gardens this summer for the evil ASIAN HORNET. If you see this horrible beastie TELL DEFRA, post here by all means but tell the authorities immediately! Asian Hornets destroy honey bees!https://secure.fera.defra.gov.uk/beebase/index.cfm?pageid=208 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/43374-any-bee-keepers-damp-and-cold-swarm-near-p-rye/#findComment-740081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilolil Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have a swarm of bees in my front garden!

lilolil Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Oops...seems it wasn't a swarm after all as they weren't all hanging together in a cone shape. Must just like the ceonanthus! Thank you to the kind lady who popped by!
