Bee Removal

General Info

A bee swarm is a natural part of a colony’s reproduction process. It typically occurs in late spring or early summer when a healthy hive becomes overcrowded.

What to Look For:

• Large cluster of bees gathered in a ball or teardrop shape, often hanging from a tree branch, fence, or post.
  
  

• Calm behavior: Swarming bees are usually not aggressive—they’ve gorged on honey before leaving the hive and are focused on finding a new home.
  
  

• Buzzing cloud of bees: You may see the swarm in flight, forming a moving "cloud" before settling.
  
  

• No visible hive: Unlike established colonies, a swarm is temporarily gathered without comb or structure.
  
  

Swarming bees are not dangerous if left undisturbed. If you spot one, contact a local beekeeper or swarm removal service to safely relocate them.
