Bee swarm in Queensferry? Help is a minute away.

Queensferry (Y Fferi) sits at the Flintshire end of the Flintshire Bridge crossing of the Dee, a riverside and industrial settlement where the estuary is crossed by road, rail and former ferry routes. The tidal Dee foreshore carries saltmarsh samphire and sea aster at the water's edge, while hawthorn and elder line the residential streets and the railway embankments above the river. Bramble is heavy on the brownfield margins between Queensferry and Sandycroft. The Flint and District BKA covers Queensferry.

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.
