🐝 Don’t Panic—It’s Just a Bee Swarm! 🐝
Have you ever spotted a large cluster of bees hanging from a tree branch or buzzing around in a cloud? This is known as a bee swarm, a natural and essential part of a honey bee colony’s life cycle. The old queen leaves the hive with about two-thirds of the worker bees to establish a new colony. This process is how honey bee colonies reproduce and expand.
Despite their intimidating appearance, swarming bees are generally not aggressive. They are focused on finding a new home and are less likely to sting during this time.
‼️Don’t kill them ‼️
Honey bees play a crucial role in pollinating many of the foods we eat. Eliminating swarms can harm local ecosystems and agriculture. Instead of exterminating them, consider contacting a local beekeeper! Please reach out and we will come to relocate them or put you in contact with another keeper who can!
