Under the witty headline – ‘They do like to bee beside the quayside’ – the CP reported on a swarm of bees at Yarmouth and their safe collection.
This gives us an ideal opportunity to remind you who to call if you see bees swarm.

Bare Arm Bravery
There are some good photos in the CP report as well, showing Bob Bromley, an experienced member of the IWBKA, gathering the swarm into a skep in his usual sleeves-rolled-up causal style of bee handling.
Looks like CP photographer Jennifer Burton was using quite a long lens – fully understandable in the circumstances!
