Stories From The HiveFor many people, seeing a swarm of bees in their yard can be alarming, especially with the loud noise created by buzzing from so many bees. If you haven’t encountered a bee swarm before, there’s no need to panic. Here are a few tips for dealing with bee swarms.
- Stay calm. Bees on their own aren’t dangerous and won’t sting you unless provoked. Oftentimes, bee swarms are just resting in one place and will move on soon, so there’s no need to worry about them destroying your property or causing trouble if they’re only resting for a little bit.
- Leave them alone. It can be tempting to approach a bee swarm, particularly for people who have never seen one before. However, it’s best to take note of them from afar. If you get too close, the bees may feel threatened. It’s okay to be interested, but we recommend taking pictures from a safe distance rather than approaching them.
- Call a professional. While many bee swarms are merely resting, others may be setting up their home. If they move into a structure on your property, such as your roof, it’s important to call a humane bee removal expert. Bees can cause damage if they decide to invade your home or surrounding structures. You shouldn’t try to shoo them away with water or products from your local store, as this typically only results in the bees getting mad, which would likely result in you getting stung.
