We collect Swarms
If you have seen a swarm of bees that need collection, please phone our Swarm Co-ordinator Gill Atkins on 07951 123 365.
We only collect honey bees so if in doubt please use the identification on the BBKA website.
If you need advice on bees please contact us using the Enquiry form under Contact Us.
Impact of Covid
All our events have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
Bees are classified as livestock so all beekeepers may keep tending their bees in out apiaries and the association will continue to collect swarms.
Please stay safe and if you need help or advice with your bees please send a message using the Enquiry Form, or message us on Facebook or message Jean directly.
Want to Buy and Sell Bees and Equipment?
If you have bees or equipment to sell or if you want to buy please fill out an Enquiry Form and we will advertise it on the website, on Facebook and in our monthly Newsletter.

Asian Hornet - a threat to bees
The Asian Hornet is a huge risk to the honey bee and other flying insects in the UK.
Please be vigilant and if you see a nest or the Asian Hornet (often by water sources at this time of year) then please take a photo and send to the NBU.
We have set up an Asian Hornet Action Team, if you would like to be part of the team please contact Gill directly or use the Enquiry Form.
If you would like to know more about the Asian Hornet please follow the link to the BBKA Website Asian Hornet FAQs
