Bee swarm in Marfleet? Help is a minute away.

Marfleet is an east Hull district between the Holderness Road and the Humber riverside industrial zone, with East Park — one of Hull's largest and finest Victorian parks — on its western edge. East Park carries a lime avenue and mature horse chestnut that deliver one of Hull's strongest urban June flows; the Holderness Road corridor is lined with sycamore and street lime adding to the city-edge forage. The Marfleet industrial zone and the Humber riverside embankment carry elder, hawthorn and sea-buckthorn scrub that support bees through late summer; willowherb on the dock-land disturbed ground adds to the July and August supplement.

Oilseed rape on the flat Holderness clay plain east and north of the city — visible from Bilton, Bransholme and Longhill — opens the season in April and dominates through early May. Hawthorn and sycamore on the Holderness field-boundary hedgerows follow; within the city, the Avenues — Marlborough, Westbourne, Salisbury and Victoria Avenues — carry one of the finest lime-tree canopies of any English city, producing a dense and fragrant June flow that draws bees from the surrounding streets and parks. Bramble and willowherb flush former industrial land, railway embankments and the Bransholme green-space corridors through summer. The Humber riverside elder and hawthorn scrub at Victoria Dock and the Pier approach adds a late-summer supplement. Ivy on the Old Town walls, churchyards and garden boundaries closes the year.
