I had a Bee Keeper come around the house a few years ago when we had this before and take them away for free (I think a swarm is worth a few quid?).
Just wondering if anyone knows somebody who could do this before I go to google as I don't have the last guys number
TIA

Eric the half a bee.
He might be able to help but make sure you don't get stung by his bill.
Are you getting him mixed up with Eric the half a duck?Quote:

He drinks in the pubs in llandaff north, and ,oddly, goes by the name of "Phil the Bee". He is nice approachable fella and will help you if he can.
If you really need to contact him call CJ Hill, a local sub contractor on Bridge Road and ask to speak to Clive. He'll know where Phil is.

I had a swarm land on the side of my house they follow a new queen and are looking for a new home. If they find that the place is n`t suitable they will move on.
Yeah I spoke to somebody last night via a Facebook group and she said the same that they won't stay on a bush for long and will probably go as soon as they found a permanent home.Quote:

You are such an empty vessel.Quote:

Have a look here http://www.cardiffbeekeepers.co.uk/swarms.php (or for anyone outside Cardiff, look here http://www.wbka.com/associations/ for a local contact).
Most beekeepers will be glad to take & hive a swarm, unless it's in a really inaccessible place.

On a positive note, I thought the council had a resident bee keeper.
