Would anyone like some bees?

Pippa!

Hi Everyone!
And apologies for the title... Basically, I had a very large bee swarm move into my chimney a few days ago and I'm looking for advice as to what to do.
Judging by the research I've done my only option is to poison them, but I feel terrible at the thought of killing so many bees! Any chance someone could come and take them away? Is there anyone I could call?
Many thanks,
P

Whereabouts in the country are you?

Try get in touch with secretary@galwaybeekeepers.com
They might have someone who would be willing to take a swarm away for you.

Or these guys, there's mobile numbers on this page at least:

In your chimney and settled in for a few days might mean they will be difficult to move so don't get your hopes up.

Thanks PMan, I'll drop the secretary an email straight away!

We tried to smoke them out for a couple of days but they must really like it in there :-/

I don't know anything about this chap but I came across his ad and he's in Galway. He might suit or he might not.
