Some un-BEE-lievable scenes in Cardiff after a 'lost' swam of bees set up camp in the middle of the high street. Thankfully, people were on hand to safely pop some cones around them 🐝
Cardiff was abuzz with activity this afternoon following some unlikely visitors to the city centre.The area was quickly cordoned off with cones to keep shoppers out of harm’s way.
But. according to the British Beekeepers Association, most honey bee swarms are not aggressive but they advise people to keep away and leave them alone.Honey bee swarming is natural and usually happens when the bees are looking for a new home. Bee keepers have a saying which goes: ‘A swarm in May is worth a load of hay; a swarm in June is worth a silver spoon; but a swarm in July is not worth a fly’, which means the later in the year it is, the less time there will be for bees to collect pollen from flowers in blossom.
A swarm of bumblebees are also best left alone, says the association, as they are valuable pollinators, with some being endangered.
