Bee swarm in Buckley? Help is a minute away.

Buckley (Bwcle) is a hilltop town on the Hawarden ridge east of Mold, historically a brick and tile manufacturing centre whose former claypit and colliery sites now carry mature secondary woodland and dense bramble. The town is surrounded by mixed farmland with hawthorn and blackthorn hedgerows, and sycamore lines the lanes between Buckley and Mynydd Isa. White clover is common on the playing fields and the grass verges of the surrounding housing estates. The Flint and District BKA covers Buckley.

Sycamore is the dominant flow tree throughout Flintshire, lining the lanes and valley sides from the Alyn valley near Mold to the wooded dingles of the Greenfield Valley. Hawthorn hedgerows are exceptionally strong on the Halkyn plateau and the Hawarden ridge, delivering a reliable May flow across the county. Lime trees in the older town centres and on the Mold and Caerwys market streets contribute a July supplement. White clover is widespread on the pastures and recreation grounds of the lower valleys and coastal plain. Bramble is abundant on the former industrial and railway land around Shotton, Buckley and the Greenfield Valley margins. Gorse on Halkyn Mountain provides a late-winter and spring pollen source. Alder and willow along the Dee foreshore and the Alyn riverbanks contribute early pollen for colonies emerging in spring.
