Any Bee Keeper's - damp and cold swarm near P Rye

[peckhamasbestos]

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

where exactly are these bees? and I'll ask someone to get them

[mynamehere]

collected very very wet small "cast" swarm just before we lost the light. Hope they make it! They're being nursed back to bee health by the best (not me)

Are you aware of the hives in the wild garden in peckham rye ?

[Sue]

Hey, well done the people who rescued the bees :)

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 Park

which 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!

I have a swarm of bees in my front garden! If anyone can help find them a nice home I'd be grateful

Hindmans Road, huge blue ceonanthus tree infront...covered in bees!

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!
