Bee swarm in Monifieth? Help is a minute away.

Monifieth is a coastal residential town between Dundee and Carnoustie, set on the north shore of the Tay estuary where the Barry Burn meets the foreshore at Monifieth beach. The town has grown from a Victorian seaside resort into a large commuter settlement, with extensive residential streets, the Ashludie grounds and Monifieth Golf Links. The links turf carries white clover through midsummer, and the foreshore vegetation along the Tay includes sea aster, marram and coastal grassland. Oilseed rape grows on the farmland inland towards Muirhead and across the Strathmore plain.

Oilseed rape is the defining Angus spring flow: the wide floor of Strathmore carries dense April–May sowings from Forfar eastward to Carnoustie, filling supers quickly on settled days. Hawthorn, wild cherry and sycamore follow on the hedgerow field margins and estate woodlands of the inland vale. White clover is abundant on the improved coastal grasslands and golf course turf between Monifieth, Carnoustie and Arbroath through June and July. The coastal clifftops carry bird's-foot trefoil, thrift and wild thyme. On the higher ground of the Angus Glens — above Kirriemuir, Edzell and Brechin — heather starts in late July and carries through to mid-September, offering a productive moor crop for those who move colonies to the hill.
