Bees
You may sometimes see a group of bees, called a swarm. Bees are important and can help plants grow by carrying pollen from one flower to another.
Swarms are usually calm and will move on after a few days. It is best to leave them alone.
Report a swarm if:
- it is blocking a pavement or public space
- it has not moved after 7 days.
Report it to a local beekeeper who can collect the bees and move them to a safe place.
