Bees advice

Honeybee (Apis mellifera)
 
Honeybees are easily recognised by their slim, sandy thorax and black abdomen with golden-amber bands. They live in colonies containing several thousand individuals.

They are mostly found feeding on flowers, shrubs and flowers of herbs.
 
We do not offer a service to remove bees, however Essex Beekeepers Association may be able to assist.
