“Swarms are easier to capture than removing an existing hive.
Swarms usually have no comb, and are just a huge pile of bees hanging from a tree, car bumper, fence post, bird house or as in this picture, a porch on a beautiful house.
A swarm is the natural way hives multiply. This happens predominately in late April, May and throughout the month of June.
We try to capture our own swarms. Swarms are not aggressive; they usually don’t sting because they are full of honey for their journey and they have no honey or brood in a comb to protect. They are simply out shopping for a new house…”
