Bee swarm in Blagdon? Help is a minute away.

Blagdon is a Mendip-edge village set above Blagdon Lake, the smaller of the two Chew Valley reservoirs, with views south across the heather moorland and north over the Somerset Levels. The village is surrounded by traditional limestone pasture, ancient hedgerows and small orchards, and Blagdon Lake's sheltered shore carries meadowsweet, water mint and willowherb through midsummer — a distinctive supplement to the usual orchard-and-clover forage of the broader Chew valley.

Oilseed rape is grown extensively on the North Somerset Levels plain between Weston, Yatton and Congresbury, producing a strong April to May flow that fills supers quickly and requires timely extraction. Hawthorn is dense on the Mendip foothills hedgerows around Churchill, Winscombe and Banwell, and the Tickenham Ridge and Kewstoke Hill carry blackthorn and gorse for the earliest spring forage. Lime trees line the Victorian esplanade gardens of Weston-super-Mare and the older residential streets of Clevedon and Portishead, giving a reliable June town-centre flow. The orchard gardens of Long Ashton, Backwell and Nailsea carry traditional apple, pear and plum blossom in May. Bramble is prolific on the Mendip scarp scrub and on the regenerating scrub of old rhyne banks; white clover on the improved moor grassland and rhyne margins carries through July. Sea-buckthorn and coastal grassland at Sand Bay, Weston Sands and Clevedon Marine Lake provide a late-summer coastal supplement. Ivy on old limestone walls and the cliff-face gardens at Clevedon and Portishead closes the forage year in October.
