Some Swarm facts

  • The swarm that you see contains a queen and they are looking for a new home
  • The bees have usually gorged themselves on honey before they left their last hive and can not easily bend their body's into the position to sting you. However, if provoked, their survival instinct to protect their Queen will prevail.

  •  Call your local apiculture society or a beekeeper . The above list contains some of our local beekeepers willing to collect swarms. Do not try to eradicate them yourself.
