Bee swarm in North Berwick? Help is a minute away.

North Berwick is a Victorian resort and golfing town on the Firth of Forth coast, set below the volcanic plug of North Berwick Law and looking out across the water to Bass Rock. The town combines a compact stone-built centre with generous Victorian villa gardens, the links grasslands of the Glen Golf Course, and the coastal parkland of the foreshore. The Scottish Seabird Centre sits at the harbour end, and the headland behind it carries gorse and broom on rocky ground above the rockpools. Oilseed rape is grown on the farmland between North Berwick and Haddington to the south, contributing to the county-wide April–May flow; the links turf carries white clover and bird's-foot trefoil through summer, and the North Berwick Law reserve adds heather on the upper slopes.

Oilseed rape is the defining East Lothian flow: the arable fields between Haddington, Tranent and East Linton carry a mass April–May bloom that fills supers quickly and requires fast extraction to prevent granulation. White clover follows on the improved grasslands and verges through June and July, sustained by the mild maritime influence from the Forth. Sycamore and hawthorn bridge the gap between OSR and clover on the field margins and hedgerows of the River Tyne valley floor. Sea buckthorn on the dune links at Gullane, Yellowcraig and Longniddry Bents provides a distinctive late-summer nectar supplement. The Lammermuir Hills above Gifford and Longformacus carry heather from mid-July into September, and apiaries on the upland edge can work both the arable spring flow and a heather crop in the same season.
