Hi everyone! Just a quick PSA — it's honey bee swarm season!
As soon as the sun comes back out, swarming will begin. If you spot a honey bee swarm in the area, please use the information below to report it. This allows trained beekeepers to safely relocate the swarm to a hive, giving it a much better chance of survival.
Relocating swarms also helps prevent bees from settling in unwanted places like your walls, eaves, chimneys, or columns — which can lead to expensive removal later on!
Swarming is a natural part of a colony's life cycle: the old queen leaves with about half the bees to start a new colony, while the remaining bees raise a new queen to carry on the original hive. Unfortunately, only about 1 in 6 swarms survive in the wild.
This free service helps boost those odds and supports healthy bee populations.
Thank you for helping protect the bees and keeping our spaces safe! 🐝
