Bumblebee nests…

We are as an association taking a lot of calls regarding Bumblebee nests. 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. Please use the link for the Bumblebee conservation trust for further advice.

Asian Hornet Updates…

The National Bee Unit is issuing important updates on Asian Hornet sightings in the UK.

Please make sure that you have registered your apiary on “BeeBase” to make sure that you receive news.

Our website will also publish updates in “Latest News”
