Bee swarm in Camberley? Help is a minute away.

Camberley is the principal town of Surrey Heath, a borough defined by the acid heathland commons that extend across the Hampshire border towards Fleet and Farnborough. The Surrey Heath commons — Chobham Common, the largest National Nature Reserve in southeast England, Coldingley, Bisley and Bagshot heath — carry a genuine bell and ling heather flow from late July into August that supplements a main season rich in sycamore, lime and bramble. The town's mature residential gardens, the pine and birch woodland of the RHS Garden Wisley margins, and the scrubby heath edge between Camberley and Sandhurst extend a varied season from April through to autumn ivy.

Spring builds fast on blackthorn, hawthorn and horse chestnut along the North Downs scarp, then leans heavily on field maple, sycamore and the urban lime avenues of Guildford, Dorking and Woking. The lowland heaths — Chobham, Frensham, Thursley — give a late bell heather crop in good Augusts that colonies here can count on, supplemented by rosebay willowherb across the MoD training land. Bramble is dense from Box Hill to the Surrey Hills AONB, and the old walled churchyards carry a strong ivy flow into autumn.
