Title: South Wales Beekeeper Required
Post by: recoil on July 08, 2012, 09:55:22 am

I've just spotted a big group of honey bees gathered on one of my apple trees and I want to get rid of them. Does anyone want to come and get them? I'm located in Blackwood, NP12 and my number is 07890051743. The quicker the better.  :)

If you still have the swarm, you could always contact the Cardiff Beekeepers Association (http://www.cardiffbeekeepers.co.uk/swarms.php), I think they are your nearest beekeeping association and they operate a swarm collection service to members of the public.

Police round here have numbers for beekeeping members of the BBKA your area may be the same, or failing that the local council.

Go on to the BBKA web site and they have a list of beekeepers from all across the Country (UK) who will come and remove the swarm - in sum case you may have to pay a small amount for fuel etc.
