At this time of year it\u00a0 is a regular occurrence that bees swarm. The honey bees\u00a0 should not be confused with wasps. Generally the bees will coalesce into a large bundle around the queen bee located possibly on a wall as they decide where they’re going to go to next. The bees in this situation are quite docile and the risk of getting a sting is\u00a0 low so long as the bees are not disturbed.<\/p>\n

This week KKB called in the mid-Kilkenny Beekeepers\u00a0 to help when a swarm landed on one of Kilkenny’s historic limestone walls in the city centre. Congratulations to the beekeepers who had a volunteer out within an hour to help and a local building contractor who assessed to gain access. The swarm was collected and brought to a new hive. It is important that we protect and look after our pollinators in particular the honey bees.<\/p>\n
