- Swarming is the natural process of colony reproduction. - The queen bee will leave the colony with a large group of worker bees, usually 50%-60% of the colony. - A swarm will usually gather in a tree or on a bush in the vicinity of the original colony to rest and send scouts out to look for a new home. - The bees will cluster around the queen until the scouts have found a suitable home. - Swarms in our area tend to take place between April & June.- Bees in a hanging swarm tend to be non aggressive as they do not have a hive to defend, however always treat swarms with caution. - A swarm usually relocates to a permanent spot within 24 hours.
