Bee swarm in Stobswell? Help is a minute away.

Stobswell is an inner east Dundee district of Victorian and Edwardian terraces occupying the plateau between Baxter Park and Broughty Ferry Road. The area has a strong community character and one of Dundee's highest densities of productive garden trees — sycamore, apple, plum and flowering cherry are common in the back courts and front gardens of the terrace streets. Baxter Park, the most important bee forage site in the east of the city, lies at the district's north-western edge: the park's lime avenues produce a reliable June–July flow, and the formal bedding and rose borders extend the season. The Dighty Burn corridor begins its run through the eastern suburbs just north of here, adding a himalayan balsam and elder margin from July.

Sycamore opens the Dundee season in May, particularly strong in the mature trees of Balgay Hill, the West End villas and Camperdown Country Park on the city's western fringe. Lime follows in June and July in the formal avenues of Baxter Park and Caird Park — the defining mid-summer flow for city apiaries. White clover is abundant on the amenity grasslands and golf course rough of Caird Park and Downfield from June onward. Himalayan balsam on the Tay riverbanks and the full length of the Dighty Burn corridor — running from the eastern suburbs through Downfield and Whitfield — provides a lengthy and productive late-summer flow through July and August. Bramble is prolific on former industrial land and railway margins across the northern and eastern suburbs. Ivy on tenement and churchyard walls closes the season in September and October.
