Bee swarm in Mold? Help is a minute away.

Mold (Yr Wyddgrug) is the county town of Flintshire, set in a broad valley between the Clwydian Range and the Alyn floodplain. The surrounding farmland carries a generous mix of sycamore and lime along the town margins, hawthorn hedgerows on the valley sides, and white clover on the meadows and recreation grounds of the Alyn corridor. Bramble is dense on the unmanaged field margins between the town and the surrounding villages. The Flint and District BKA is the primary association serving Mold and the central Flintshire valley.

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.
