Found a Swarm?

If you've discovered a cluster of bees hanging on a tree branch, fence post, or other surface, you've likely found a honeybee swarm. Don't panic! Swarms are typically docile and not aggressive. We'll come pick them up for free and give them a new home in our apiary.

What Is a Swarm?

🐝

Natural Behavior

Swarming is how honeybee colonies reproduce. When a hive becomes too crowded, the old queen leaves with about half the worker bees to find a new home. This typically happens in spring and early summer.

Temporary Rest Stop

When you see a swarm clustered on a tree branch, fence, or building, they're just taking a temporary rest while scout bees search for a permanent home. They usually stay for a few hours to a few days.

Generally Docile

Swarms are typically very gentle because they have no hive or honey to defend. The bees are focused on protecting their queen and finding a new home, not on stinging. However, it's best to keep your distance and contact a beekeeper.
