If you hear screaming coming from houses this time of year, it may be because someone has just found a huge bee in their house. During April and May the queen bee in any hive can lay an egg up to once every 20 seconds - that’s more than 2000 a day.

Each of those will take between 21 and 24 days to develop into bees.

When the weather starts getting warmer, the population of bees increases sevenfold in some hives, which is why you start seeing more of them during summer time.

The population of a hive can increase to 35,000 in the summer from 5000 in the winter months.

But this time of year you can also find bees looking for a new home, which can see queen bees stumble through your open doors and windows, often to have a rest on a windowsill, but since we are entering into autumn, bees will be less active during this season.

What happens if one bee comes into the home?

The best thing to do is open doors and windows and let the bee leave of its own accord. Another option is to put some sugar water in the bottom of a jar, one part sugar to three parts water. Bore a hole in the jar lid, big enough for the bee to crawl through and screw it on. Wait for the bee to crawl in the jar so you can then take it outside and release it, simple!

Thanks for reading...😊
