What if I notice a honey bee swarm near my home?
Each spring, and to a lesser extent during the fall, about half of the work force of a honey bee
colony separates from the rest and flies out to form a new colony at a different site. While they
are in transition, the bees are called a “swarm.” When they are swarming the bees tend to be
mild-mannered because they do not have a nest to defend, but it is still best to avoid them. Even
though they may be resting at a site, they may move on shortly. DO NOT DISTURB HONEY BEE
NESTS OR SWARMS. Don’t throw rocks, or other objects, or molest with firearms. If the swarm
has begun to build a wax honeycomb, they should be removed while the colony is still relatively
small.
What if I find a bee colony near my home?
Don’t panic if you find an established honey bee colony in your neighborhood. Keep every one
away. Call a bee removal specialist and we will remove the colony. Do not try to remove
colonies yourself.
