Is bee swarm collection really free in Cambridgeshire?

Yes. Honeybee swarm collection through SwarmLine is free — a local beekeeper collects the swarm and gives the bees a new home. The beekeeper may ask for a small fuel contribution for very rural call-outs, agreed up front. Colonies established inside a wall or roof are different: that's specialist paid work, and we'll connect you with the right person.

How do I report a swarm?

Send us a photo — on WhatsApp or at swarmline.uk/report. Our AI identifies what you're looking at in seconds (honeybees, bumblebees or wasps), and if it's a honeybee swarm the nearest registered beekeeper is offered the collection immediately.

How quickly will someone come?

Swarms are time-sensitive and beekeepers know it — offers go out the moment you report, to one collector at a time, nearest first. Most swarms are collected within hours.

What if it turns out to be wasps?

We'll tell you straight away from the photo, and can connect you with a local professional — so no beekeeper gets called to a wasp nest, and you get the right help first time.
