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.

It is CRAZY!

SO CALL QUICK!

​

What makes it a swarm?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. In most cases I will have a large cardboard box with screened breathing holes for the bees.

I place a large sheet under where the bees are swarming at. Then place the large 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, well then you are in for some entertainment and a

possible tree trimming.

Once I have most of the hive in the box, and confirm that I have the Queen.

They will be moved to the apiary garden and live a happy life next to alfalfa fields and wildflowers.

Bees swarm for a couple of reasons.
