I don't think you need apologise at all. The fact that you have asked and are considering the responses is surely good?
I suggest you register with Beebase and get your self on the list - that way you can find out if there is a problem in your area and the Bee Inspector will know where to find you.
Do remember that bees usually cluster locally before flying off to a new home and that bees seeking a new home will often come and find one in or near other apiaries (sort of "if they live here it must be OK"). If you let your bees swarm your neighbours will soon run out of patience and when other bees from other apiaries arrive to take up a home in their chimneys/home it will be assumed that they are your bees!
