About half the calls I have had about swarms have turned out to be about Tree Bumblebees.
They are quite small compared with other bumblebees and they often fly around the entrance to their nest and this can look like swarming.
They are particularly fond of bird boxes and I have collected two colonies that I have put at the end of my garden.
