Bee swarm in Lennoxtown? Help is a minute away.

Lennoxtown sits at the foot of the Campsie Fells where the Glazert Water emerges from the main Campsie scarp onto the agricultural plain, a position that makes it the most directly linked of the East Dunbartonshire towns to the upland heather resource above. The escarpment rises to over 500 metres within two kilometres of the town centre, and the moorland carries extensive bell heather, cross-leaved heath and bilberry that constitutes the best accessible upland heather in the greater Glasgow area. The Glazert valley below Lennoxtown carries hawthorn, alder and ash; the agricultural land between Lennoxtown and Kirkintilloch supports white clover through the summer.

Sycamore is the dominant May flow tree throughout East Dunbartonshire, lining the suburban streets, school grounds and railway corridors of Bearsden, Bishopbriggs and Kirkintilloch in large numbers. White clover on the amenity grasslands, golf courses and roadside verges of the residential areas is the main mid-summer crop from June through August. Hawthorn on the hedgerows of the Glazert and Blane valleys and on the field boundaries of the agricultural land between Torrance and Lennoxtown provides a sustained May blossom flow. The Campsie Fells above Lennoxtown carry bell heather and cross-leaved heath from late July through September — the most significant upland heather resource within reach of the Glasgow conurbation. Himalayan balsam is colonising the Kelvin and Glazert corridors strongly. Bramble on field margins and in urban green space edges provides a late-summer supplement from July into September. Lime trees in the older residential avenues of Bearsden and Milngavie give a distinctive late-June to early-July nectar flow. Ivy on stone walls and older buildings completes the calendar in October.
