A swarm is created when a well-established hive becomes over populated. So the monarch queen
leaves the hive and takes a portion of the colony with her. A swarm consists of anywhere from
8,000 to 12,000 bees. These bees are looking for a place to create a new hive. They can become
very dangerous if approached or provoked. Do not try to remove the swarm or disturb it in any
way. If a swarm of honeybees land anywhere on your property you should have it professionally
removed immediately due to the fact that the swarm could create a hive within your structure,
causing the cost of removing the bees to increase dramatically.
