If you have a honey bee swarm, do not be alarmed. This is a natural process honey bees must go through to create new colonies when they are overcrowded in their hives. In most cases, swarming honey bees will not harm you if you do not bother them, however, they should be removed by a local beekeeper to ensure their survival and to prevent them from building a nest in YOUR home.
Some good information to tell the beekeeper is:
Where the bees are located
How many "gallon paint cans" you think they might fill up
The approximate dimensions of the swarm (length & thickness)
Whether the beekeeper will need to bring a ladder or if you can provide one
Whether or not you can supply a 1:1 mixture of sugar water in a spray bottle and a cardboard box with tape.
PLEASE SELECT A NAME FROM THE LIST BELOW AS SOON AS A SWARM IS SPOTTED!
There may be a fee associated with removing a swarm from INSIDE a structure.
