Swarms

About Swarms
Typically bees hanging from objects are honey bees. Honey bees can also find houses, buildings, and other sites ideal. The flying swarm temporarily clusters on an object, such as a tree branch, while scout bees search for a permanent nest site. A hanging swarm may assume any shape, depending on the surface on which it is clustered. Most hanging swarms are round or oval, about the size of a volleyball. Swarms are relatively gentle, and the risk of stings is low. Nevertheless, treat swarms with caution. A swarm usually relocates to a permanent nest, such as a hollow tree or a wall, within 24 hours.

What to do if you encounter a swarm
Please download our Honey Bee Swarm Guide on this page for more information what to do if you encounter a swarm of honey bees. You can also read more about swarms in my article Understanding Honey Bee Swarms in the Daily Press.
