Swarm Collection
We offer swarm collection services to help safely remove and relocate swarms from public and private areas. Honeybee swarms can be intimidating for people who are not experienced with beekeeping, but our team has the knowledge and equipment to safely collect and relocate swarms to a new location.
Why do Honeybees Swarm?
It's the Bee Colony's "Moving Day". A swarm is a natural and surprisingly calm event. Think of a swarm as a colony's way of reproducing and finding a new home. In the original hive, a new queen is raised. The old, experienced queen then leaves with about half of the worker bees to establish a new colony. Before they depart, they fill their stomachs with honey for the long journey. The cluster you see is simply a temporary resting spot while scout bees search for a suitable permanent home, like a hollow tree.
Are they Dangerous?
A swarm is not an angry mob of bees. Because they are in-between homes, they have no baby bees, no food stores, and no hive structure to defend. Their sole focus is protecting their queen and conserving energy until they find a safe new place to live. They will only become defensive if they are directly threatened.
See a Honeybee Swarm?
Don't Panic. A swarm is docile and just looking for a new home. We provide fast, safe, and humane honeybee swarm collection in Morris County and surrounding areas. Do not spray them.
