It was brought the attention of Market Towns Manager Shawn Riley this week that Honey Bee Swarms can be extremely dangerous and costly to have removed. However, there is a network of local Beekeepers any of whom are willing to collect or organise the collection of swarms. Your local Beekeeper can be contacted at:

Pershore & District. Mr Richard Higgins 01386 555755
Lenches & Evesham North Mr Graham Mullen. 01386 870573.

If a beekeeper arrives at a site & finds it is not possible to collect (in a chimney etc) then he or she will advise the client of a reputable pest controller to deal with the problem.
