If You Need Help With A Swarm

As a hive grows, it becomes more crowded and there is limited space for the queen to lay eggs.  The hive inherently senses this and makes preparations for the existing queen and some of the worker bees to leave and start a new hive.  Typically a new queen is in the process  and will take over after the old queen leaves with the swarm.

Typically not.  The bees are filled with their honey stores and their mission is to wait with the queen until they get the signal to move on.  They have no desire to confront you but I would play it safe by observing from  a safe distance.  As always if you are in an area that can be populated by Africanized bees, do not even attempt to approach and call the appropriate professionals. 

It’s really not necessary as the emergency professionals are not equipped to handle this particular situation.  Hopefully they will refer you to this website and you can find a local beekeeper to help you and the honeybees.

That’s the great part….  there are beekeepers out there waiting and praying for you to call. If it does not involve a cut out,  it should cost you nata, zilch, nothing, to remove the swarm.  You are actually doing the beekeeper a great favor.

A cut out involves removing honey bees that have relocated inside part of a structure such as a house or other building.  It can involve removing or cutting part of the structure to access the honeybees.  This may mean that there will be a cost to repair the structure after removal.
