Bees

It is swarm season for honeybees.  The bees make a new queen and leave with her from the hive to start a new colony elsewhere.  As beekeepers we try to mitigate this by monitoring population growth and space, but we are not always successful as bees tend to do what they need to do to survive. 
Upon inspection today it was pretty obvious the girls moved house as the population was half of what it was a couple of weeks ago.
So there could be a cluster of about 10,000 bees hanging on a branch somewhere on your property! There is no need to bee alarmed - they are not aggressive and won’t harm anyone unless they are disturbed.  If you see a swarm please call me and I can retrieve them.
