When you notice a swarm of bees on your property, it can be unsettling at best. Fortunately, there are ways you can resolve any bee swarms on your property while protecting both your household and the bees. Here are a few things you should know about bee swarm relocation.
- What causes the swarm? When bees reproduce, they typically have too many bees in the hive all at once. This is resolved by splitting up the bee colony. The old queen bee takes about two-thirds of the colony, while the remaining bees stay in the hive with a new queen. The split colony forms a bee swarm, with scouts sent to find a new location to build a beehive.
- It’s important to act promptly: Bee swarms are searching for a new place to settle down and build a new hive. If you find a bee swarm, it’s important to react promptly and schedule bee swarm removal services as soon as possible to prevent the bees from claiming your home as their own. While there’s a chance the bee swarm could just be using your property as a place to rest while scouting out a new location for their hive, it’s better to take preventative measures with our bee swarm relocation services, just in case.
- How does it work? When you call us for our bee swarm relocation services, we rely on humane methods. In most cases, we will move the bees into a hive box to relocate them to an apiary or other safe location where they can live freely and continue to pollinate. That way, we can keep both your property and the bees safe.
