Bee swarm in Peverell? Help is a minute away.

Peverell is an Edwardian inner-city residential suburb north-west of Plymouth city centre, its long avenues of semi-detached houses running up to the eastern edge of Central Park. The park's lime avenue, sycamore and hawthorn margins provide excellent early-summer forage within easy flight of the suburb. The Edwardian streets of Seymour Avenue and Peverell Park Road carry mature front-garden sycamore and ornamental cherry that supplement Central Park across the swarming season.

Gorse on the Dartmoor edge at Roborough Down and the Plympton Hill fringe opens the season in February and March. Blackthorn and hawthorn on the Plym and Tamar valley hedgerows follow; apple blossom in the Plympton and Tamerton Foliot orchard remnants adds to the May flow. Sycamore and lime in Central Park, the Hoe gardens and Devonport Park give a reliable June city flow. Bramble is dense on the old military estate scrub at the Efford and Plymstock fringes; willowherb on the estuary embankments carries through August. The Tamar and Tavy creek-side woodland at Warleigh carries ash, hazel and wild cherry. Coastal ivy on the Sound-facing cliff gardens and the dockyard walls closes the year.
