What are Honey bee swarms?
Honey bee swarming is a natural part of honeybee colony development that occurs once a year as a response to overcrowding within an existing colony. When honeybees swarm the queen departs taking with her a quarter to a third of her colony in search of a new nest site. Swarming bees fly around in a cloud-like appearance until they find a tree limb, bush or other object to cluster on for a few hours or a few days while bee scouts search for a new location. When the new nest site is found the swarm flies to it. At Schultz Honey & Wax Inc. we assist Denver-Metro homeowners and businesses in getting rid of honeybee swarms with safe, bee humane practices.
