Bees: It's Swarming Time Again
If you see a bee swarm do NOT call the exterminator. Call Bees Up Top and they will rehome the bees for you for FREE! Bees are largely responsible for the pollination of most of the world’s fruits, vegetables and nuts so without bees we don’t have any of those foods. When bees swarm it’s because they’re about to relocate somewhere else and they are highly UNLIKELY to sting you in this state because they don’t have a hive or babies to protect. Call Jessie from Bees Up Top on 0212033612 and she will be there in a jiffy!
