He advises following the bees to retrieve them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;<em>You are entitled by custom to follow them over anyone&#8217;s land and claim them &#8230; but only so long as you &#8216;ting-tang&#8217; as you go, by beating some metal utensil &#8211; the sound whereof is also said to make your bees stop.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the above is quoted from The Perpetual Almanac of Folklore by Charles Kightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Queen Bee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bees swarm when a new Queen Bee takes a proportion of the worker bees to form a new colony. They will latch unto a branch or a shrub, even a car&#8217;s wing mirror. Then sending worker bees out searching for a suitable new home, such as a hollow tree. There may be hundreds or even thousands in the new colony. This may be very alarming, as I found, as I could not go out without walking through a cloud of bees. But, at this point, they will not be aggressive as they do not have a hive to protect. Look <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.purdue.edu\/department\/btny\/ppdl\/potw-dept-folder\/2022\/honey-bee-swarm.html\">here<\/a> for more information on swarming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sweet, Long Distance Flyers <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An average hive will produce 25 lbs of honey, and the bees will fly 1,375,000 miles to produce it. This is like flying 55 times around the world (according to the British beekeepers Association (and my maths)) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbka.org.uk\/honey\">https:\/\/www.bbka.org.uk\/honey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Helping Bees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bees are still having a hard time as their habitats are diminishing and threats increasing. In July, DEFRA hosts &#8216;Bees Needs Week&#8217; which aims to increase public awareness of the importance of pollinators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They suggest we can help by these 5 simple actions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grow more nectar rich flowers, shrubs and trees. Using window or balcony boxes are good options if you don\u2019t have a garden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let patches of garden and land grow wild.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut grass less often.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not disturb insect nests and hibernation spots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think carefully about whether to use pesticides.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For more above Bees Needs Week look <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/bees-needs\/bees-needs-campaign\">here<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patron Saints of Bees include: <mark>St. Ambrose, St. Gobnait, and St. Valentine<\/mark>.
