Bee swarm in Bleadon? Help is a minute away.

Bleadon is a village on the edge of the North Somerset Levels, backed by the limestone knoll of Bleadon Hill and overlooking the flat moor grasslands towards Axbridge and the Mendip escarpment. The hill carries gorse, blackthorn and hawthorn scrub; the lowland pasture and rhyne network supports white clover and marsh thistles in summer. The village is the nearest settlement to Brean Down, the limestone peninsula stretching into the Bristol Channel where wild flowers and gorse give bees a maritime coastal supplement.

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.
