What is a Bee Swarm?
A bee swarm is a large cluster of bees gathered on a surface like a tree branch or fence, without any accompanying honeycomb. These bees are temporarily congregated while searching for a new home. Swarming is a natural process that occurs when a honey bee colony outgrows its current hive. The old queen and a large group of worker bees leave the hive to establish a new colony.
Important: If you find bees residing within structures (walls, roofs, sheds), please contact Royal Hepburn at 334-430-4349 for professional hive extraction services. This is a more complex process that requires specialized knowledge and equipment.
Why You Should Not Exterminate a Swarm
While a swarm of bees may look intimidating, it is important to remember that they are generally not aggressive during this phase. They are focused on finding a new home and are less likely to sting unless provoked. Exterminating a swarm not only eliminates beneficial pollinators but can also be dangerous and costly.
Benefits of Bee Relocation:
- Protects the Environment: Honey bees play a crucial role in pollinating crops and wildflowers.
- Preserves Biodiversity: Bees are a vital part of the ecosystem.
- Supports Local Beekeepers: Relocated swarms can be used to establish new hives and produce honey.
- Safe and Humane: Bee relocation is a non-lethal and ethical solution.
