Have you ever seen a mass of bees clumped together and wondered what they're doing? You probably saw a swarm of bees which is completely normal behavior for bees and is usually triggered when their old home was too small. Most swarms occur in the late spring or early summer. When bees swarm they're simply looking for a new home and while scout bees look for new locations the rest of the colony will stay put.
If a swarm of bees is on your property:- Do not provoke them! Keep children, animals, and others away from the swarm.
- If you would like the swarm removed consider contacting a beekeeper that removes them. Not all beekeepers remove swarms and some may charge a fee - ask the beekeeper you contact for swarm removal for details.
- Within about 24 hours the swarm should relocate to a more permeant location like a hollow tree on their own.
- If removing bees from a structure such as an eave we strongly encourage homeowners to discuss with the beekeepers the terms of the arrangement!
