Swarm Collection
Swarming is a completely natural process — it’s how bees reproduce and establish new colonies. The old queen leaves with part of the colony while a new queen is raised back in the hive. It can look alarming, but a swarm in full flight is one of nature’s most remarkable sights.
Most swarms appear on warm, sunny days between May and July, usually mid-morning to mid-afternoon. They’ll cluster somewhere — a tree branch, a fence post, a hedge — while scout bees search for a permanent home.
Spotted a swarm near you?
Don’t panic. Swarms are generally calm and unlikely to sting unless provoked. Give us a call and we’ll advise — and if we can, we’ll come and collect them.
