Bee swarm in Caerwys? Help is a minute away.

Caerwys is a small historic market town on the western flank of Flintshire, set on a limestone ridge between the Vale of Clwyd to the west and the Halkyn Mountain plateau to the east. The surrounding farmland is a mix of traditional pasture and arable with strong hawthorn-and-ash hedgerows; lime trees line the old market square and the lanes into the town. Bramble is heavy on the hedgerow banks and the unmanaged margins of the limestone plateau. White clover is widespread on the valley-floor pastures. The South Clwyd BKA serves the western Flintshire area including Caerwys.

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.
