What Swarm Do You Have?
Bumblebees are often confused with honeybees. However they are rounder, larger and furrier and come with a variety of coloured stripes across the end of their tails. Are they in a bird box, under the decking, in the
compost? Leave them alone if possible. Bumblebees are an important pollinator and rarely sting. Bumblebees are under threat of extinction. We will not collect/remove Bumblebees. For more information contact the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. Is it bright yellow with black stripes? Very smooth mainly yellow with black stripes? Is it in the roof of your house? Are they coming from a round nest in a tree? Is there a nest in the shed? Do they have a high pitched buzz? Are they after all things sweet?
These are probably Wasps. We will not collect/remove Wasps. For more information about wasps go to BWARS. |
Are there lots of small bees popping in and out of the wall or very small holes in the ground. Do they have a reddy/brown bottom? Are they almost black?
These are Solitary Bees, they are harmless and as their name suggest live more or less alone. They aren't interested in you and should be left alone. We will not collect/remove Solitary Bees. For more information click here. Are they very big with a loud buzz? Are they black and brown with a hint of orange? Living in the roof or shed? Do they have a very big
curved tail? These are Hornets. We will not collect/remove Hornets. For more information go to BWARS. |
Honeybees are small and vary in colour from golden brown to almost black.
