Honeybees swarm typically from May to July in Ireland, but as beekeepers will tell you there’s nothing typical with Bees so you may see them at other times.
Is it a swarm of Honey bees? or just a nest of wasps or bumble bees.
Below is a list of members who will assist with collecting swarms.
Please contact your nearest beekeeper first. If a beekeeper is not available close to you don't worry, try the next nearest beekeeper on the list.
For swarms who have already made their home in part of a building, particularly a roof, please contact Tony Lyons in the first instance 086 8515964
