Kingston upon Hull · Swarm collection

Bee swarm in Inglemire? Help is a minute away.

Inglemire is a residential district in north-west Hull between Orchard Park and the Newland and Cottingham Road approach, its streets a mix of inter-war semi-detached housing and older Victorian stock. Cottingham Road carries a fine double avenue of mature lime trees that is one of Hull's most productive June lime-flow corridors, noted by Beverley BKA members for the volume of forage it provides. Newland Avenue, running south toward Pearson Park, adds Victorian shopping-parade plane and lime to the neighbourhood forage landscape.

Where swarms appear in Inglemire

Typical swarm locations

Cottingham Road lime avenue and mature sycamore gardens are a prime June swarm site, producing reliable prime swarms as the lime comes into flower. Newland Avenue ornamental plane and lime in the Victorian shopping strip attract clusters in late May and June. Inter-war residential garden sycamore and elder in Inglemire Lane and Doone Close produce swarms through the season. Roof voids and chimney pots of the 1930s-50s semi-detached housing along Orchard Park Road are commonly reported as cavity swarm locations.

Forage in Kingston upon Hull

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.
