| Marion County Honey Bee Swarm on soffit |
Most swarms can appear dangerous, with thousands of flying bees during the time when a swarm is either landing or taking off for permanent digs. In most cases, swarms are not very defensive, though I wouldn't advise spraying them or doing the teenage boy thing--throwing rocks at them!! If you just leave them alone, they will usually leave within hours.
Sometimes though, honey bee swarms will attempt to build a nest right where you see them, or try to move into voids, such as this soffit.
If you have a swarm that persists for more than a couple days, give us a call at 1-800-343-5317 for expert bee swarm removal.
