Why Do Honey Bees Swarm?
The photo to the right is a honey bee swarm. The bees are clustered together waiting to move into a permanent home. If what you are looking at does not look like this photo, please refer to the “honey bee nest or wasp nests” information below. When you see a swarm, do not panic. A swarm of honey bees is generally very calm and they rarely sting. Do not spray the swarm with water or poison. Call a beekeeper as soon as you see them.
