Live Honeybee Swarm Pick-Up
Honeybee swarming is a natural and fascinating event that typically occurs in spring and early summer when beehives outgrow their space. As colonies expand, a newly born queen emerges, prompting a portion of the worker bees to leave the hive and follow her in search of a new home. While swarming is a sign of a healthy colony, it can become a serious concern when bees settle near residential or commercial properties—especially around trees, attics, walls, or eaves.
Why Bees Swarm (And Why It Happens in Spring)
Swarming usually takes place between March and June as temperatures rise and food becomes more abundant. This growth season causes hives to become overcrowded, triggering the production of a new queen. Once she hatches, she leaves the original hive with thousands of worker bees to establish a new colony.
While swarming bees are typically non-aggressive, their presence on your property can cause anxiety and potential risk—especially if they take up temporary residence in a populated area.
Where Do Bees Swarm?
Bees may rest in a variety of places before settling permanently. Common swarm locations include:
- Tree branches
- Rooflines and eaves
- Attics and wall voids
- Outdoor furniture and sheds
Some swarms stay for only a few hours, while others may linger for days. It’s crucial to act quickly by contacting a professional before the bees decide to build a hive.
What Should You Do If You See a Swarm?
Seeing a swarm of bees can be alarming, but here’s what you should do to stay safe and support their relocation:
- Keep Your Distance – Swarming bees are focused on protecting their queen and rarely aggressive. Avoid disturbing them.
- Don’t Spray Chemicals or Water – Attempting to remove bees yourself can trigger defensive behavior and harm the bees.
- Call Little Giant Beekeepers Immediately – We provide fast, humane removal services throughout North Texas.
- Alert Neighbors if Needed – If the swarm is visible in shared areas, kindly notify your neighbors and let them know professional help is on the way.
