A swarm of honey bees is a natural phenomenon. It is the way of multiplying their populations ensuring survival.
Swarms start as a cloud of thousands of bees and can land on almost anything to rest. A swarm can be the size of a golf ball but can be much larger. Before they swarm they gorge themselves on honey and are generally docile. Honey bees don't generally sting unless provoked. They do not have resources to defend other than the queen. Although the swarm may look scary, try to just watch nature at work.
Note: Swarms due to their nature will only rest in one place for a certain time...could be 15 minutes or as long as a day. They will move...and sometimes quickly when a suitable home location is found. To ensure the survival of the honeybee swarm and prevent them from entering a building call a beekeeper on the list as soon as you can. We will do our best to help ensure the pollinators survive.
