Spring time is Swarm time

When you think of a swarm do you normally think of YIKES IT'S A SWARM! ?? Most people do but did you know that when a colony of honey bees swarm they are at their calmest? Yes the bees do fly eradically out and away from the hive but then they

"ball-up" into a cluster of bees to protect the queen they are focused and quite calm. This new colony can move around several times in search of a new home until they find the right one. They cluster to protect the queen, feed her and keep her warm. It is their job until their sister scout bees have secured the new permanent location. If you happened to discover a cluster of swarmed honey bees, CALL A BEEKEEPER FIRST and quickly. A company that controls pests more than likely will destroy the bees. We need the bees, because without the bees we do not have pollination and without pollination we do not have fruits and vegetables and without those things, well, you get the picture. SAVE THE BEES!
