What to expect when I come to save the bees?
I will try to show up as soon

as I possibly can.

Swarms tend to move along quickly.
You can watch a swarm leave through the air like a cloud of smoke.

​​

​

The average swarm can have 30,000 plus bees in it!

That is close to 5lbs!

​

I will come with all of my beekeeping equipment. 

I place a large sheet under where the bees are swarming at.

Then place a box on top of the sheet.

If the bees are within arms reach, It makes for a much easier catch.

If they are up in a tree, then you are in for some entertainment and a

possible tree trimming.

Once I have the swarm in the box, and confirm that I have the Queen, I will move them to their new home.

They will  live a happy life next to alfalfa fields and wildflowers or donated to a beekeeper in need of bees.

Common Questions

​

-Are swarming bees angry?
Most times these bees are not aggressive, their tummies are full of honey and

they are searching for a new home. 

-Why do they cluster like that?

The are gathering around the Queen to protect her.

​

Why do bees swarm in the spring?
Bees swarm for a couple of reasons.
-Their hive is to full for them to place any more nectar or baby bees.

So they move on to find a bigger home. 

-Second reason is disease, stress, lack of food in the area and so on.
