Spring is blooming lovely - unless your pet is stung

UK bees are most active during the spring and summer months, when temperatures are warm enough for them to fly and forage for food-the warmer the weather, the larger, and more active the bee population will be.

Bees play a vital part in maintaining healthy ecosystems but have been known to sting a curious cat, or nosy doggy.

While pets are enjoying their outdoor time, any owner knows there are all sorts of ways they can get themselves into some mischief! Their curious nature and desire to sniff everything means that they often end up sticking their noses into things, and sometimes that can result in a nasty surprise.
