Why choose Bournemouth Honey for swarm collection?

Over 20 years experience
I have extensive knowledge, handling swarms with the utmost care and professionalism gained from decades in beekeeping.
Ethical relocation
All collected swarms are relocated to our own apiaries within the Bournemouth area, ensuring they are treated with respect and given the best chance to flourish.
Community focused
We often collect swarms free of charge, with a suggested donation of £20 to help cover our time and travel. It's our way of giving back to the bee community.
Understanding bee swarms
Swarming is nature's way for bees to multiply and create new colonies. Think of it as your children leaving home and starting their own life. As beekeepers, we always try to manage colonies to limit swarming, however, occasionally one gets away. It's a fascinating natural phenomenon and usually nothing to be alarmed about.
What to tell us
To help us respond quickly and effectively, please provide us with key details: the exact location of the swarm, its approximate size (e.g., rugby ball, football), how high up it is, and a photo if possible. Your quick information helps us ensure a safe collection for everyone.
Bournemouth Honey's commitment
When you contact Bournemouth Honey, you're choosing local expertise and a passion for bees. We pride ourselves on a swift response, ensuring the swarm is safely collected and rehomed without causing any distress. Help us protect these vital pollinators.
