Our club members are happy to collect honeybee swarms. This page explains how to report them to us, and also how to identify them.

To report a honeybee swarm – contact our Swarm Response co-ordinator without delay!

Swarm Collection is a service to the bees and the community. Voluntary donations to cover expenses (such as petrol), and to the branch are welcomed. We would prefer to receive any donations via online banking (BACS). Our account has the name “Kent Beekeepers Association Canterbury branch”

After bees have entered the structure of a building, removing them requires more than a beekeeper, but we will endeavour to advise and if invited, assist. 

Pictures and more information about swarms can be found here.
