Bumblebees…

As part of the BBKA we do not encourage the removal of bumblebee nests and will not come out to remove them. Due to the nature and lifecycle of the bumblebee we would advise that you leave the nest alone if not causing any problems. The Bumblebee queen will die off in autumn and the rest of the bees will die sooner and so the problem should remove itself. Please use the link for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust Website for further advice. If you have any doubts about what you have, then check out our Swarms page of our website for more information

Asian Hornet Confirmed in Lancashire…

The National Bee Unit has confirmed a sighting of a single Asian hornet in Lancashire. More information and advice can be found in the Defra Press release:
