🐝A County Down woman had bees nesting in her chimney amid reports of a big rise in cases of bees in homes.
Swarming is a natural process. It is the colony reproducing by the old queen leaving with some of the bees.Source: British Beekeepers Association"For the last three to four weeks [I was] on the phone every day," he said, "talking to people who had nests in their homes."A bumble bee's nest will naturally die out but honey bees' get bigger - and so does the honeycomb - and that makes them harder to evict.
"The bee vacuum that we use; they'll be sucked into it and there's no harm done to them. They are then left in a holding box." "The bees will smell the comb inside the hive and just basically march in. You would actually swear the ground's walking. It's quite a sight to see." "My opinion is that we're seeing more swarming honey bees, thus nesting in houses, due to an uptake in beekeeping," she said.
"Research has shown that our native pollinators, the bumblebees, are actually doing slightly better in terms of genetic health and other sort of health indicators. They're doing slightly better in urban and suburban areas than they are in rural areas.
