What to do when you see a Bee Swarm?
In this video, we explore the process of honeybee swarming, explaining how to identify a swarm, why it happens, and how to respond when encountering one.
We break down the three phases of swarming: bees leaving the hive, clustering around the queen, and relocating to a new home. We provide practical tips for distinguishing honeybee swarms from other insects, such as wasps or solitary bees, and explain how to determine if a swarm is still searching for a home or has already settled. You will find guidance on the various possible steps, in the situation of identifying a swarm or a newly settled colony.
