Cork Summer Show Local Enterprise Office, Cork City

SWARM SEASON IS UPON US - DO NOT PANIC IF YOU SEE ONE!

Bees build up their colonies in the spring. When they run out of room, they create a new Queen and the Mama Queen heads off with half the colony. This allows her daughter keep the original colony going. The circle of life!

They will wait for a window of sunshine and warmth, which often follows a period of poor weather, before heading off with their Queen a.k.a Swarm This will happen in both Wild and Managed Hives, despite the best efforts of experienced beekeepers.

A honey bee swarm can be extremely dramatic involving many thousands of bees in a large, noisy cloud. However, they normally settle into a cluster within 15 minutes before regrouping and moving to a new nest site. We've collected Swarms from Trampolines, compost bins, picnic benches etc. Nothing will surprise us now.

Keep at a safe distance and to not disturb or destroy the swarm. They Bees have their bellies full of honey and have no interest in humans whilst swarming, they are just looking for a new home.

If the swarm moves into a building, it is very difficult normally, if not impossible, for a beekeeper who does not have professional building skills or insurance to remove the bees. Pest controllers are required to undertake this type of removal either solely or in conjunction with a beekeeper.

Please give is a call on 0857801117 and we'll do our best to relocate the Swarm.

A lovey write up by the Menu in today's Irish Examiner . Thank you kindly, makes the hard work feel even more appreciated.
